Innovation Unlocked: Connecting Students to Manufacturing One Quest at a Time – Webinar

Earlier this year the Manufacturing Institute launched The Quest for the Crystal of Innovation (Innovators Quest), a turnkey, gamified experience designed to help manufacturers connect with 4th-9th grade students in meaningful and memorable ways. These reusable kits include everything necessary to complete an impactful activity in a school classroom, gymnasium, community center, MFG Day event, company family day and more.

Join the MI for an informational session on Wednesday, December 10 at 1:00 p.m. EST that will offer a practical look at how Innovators Quest equips companies of all sizes with an accessible resource to spark early career awareness, demonstrate real-world manufacturing skills and build stronger connections across local schools and community partners. Whether you are exploring ways to strengthen your workforce pipeline or seeking new tools to support student engagement initiatives, this webinar will provide the insight you need to get started.

During the session, we will cover:

• What Innovators Quest is and how it works

• How manufacturers and other organizations across the U.S. are using the kit to inspire students to explore manufacturing careers

• The ordering window, delivery timeline and support resources available

• Opportunities for workforce boards, economic development organizations and regional/state associations to leverage the program with industry partners
