Event Overview

Manufacturers and workforce leaders play a pivotal role in shaping the next generation of talent—and Innovators Quest is designed to make that connection easier, more engaging and more impactful in communities nationwide. This session will introduce you to The Quest for the Crystal of Innovation (Innovators Quest), a turnkey, gamified experience that helps students explore modern manufacturing through hands-on challenges, problem-solving and real-world career connections.

During this session, you will gain a clear understanding of how Innovators Quest works, who it serves and how your company can use the kit to spark interest in manufacturing among students in grades 4–9. We will walk through the kit components, implementation formats for classrooms and community settings, and practical steps for hosting your own experience. You will also hear how organizations across the country are using Innovators Quest to build early awareness of manufacturing careers and strengthen their local workforce pipelines.

Whether you’re looking to start a new student engagement effort or enhance an existing outreach program, this session will equip you with the knowledge and confidence to bring Innovators Quest to your community.

Join us to learn how easy it is to get started—and how your participation can help inspire the innovators and problem-solvers who will shape the future of manufacturing.
