By: The Primera Foundation "The next generation is our priority," said Matt Dvorak, Primera Foundation Board Vice President. "We know that to reap the benefits of progress and innovation in engineering, we need access for all minds and voices to be at the table. Our mission is to provide support, awareness, and encouragement for that to happen." "Intentional involvement in the community and giving back is deeply embedded in our values," said Erin Inman, Board President of the Primera Foundation and President and CEO of Primera Engineers. "Our dedication to promoting careers in STEM was the catalyst for starting the Primera Foundation. It's been an absolute thrill to award scholarships, raise awareness, and see curiosity sparked in young minds through events like this one. We're very encouraged by the impact the Foundation is making." STEMFEST is an annual event that celebrates and inspires the next generation of STEM leadership. Not only do attendees get to enjoy a day at the zoo with complimentary access to amenities, exhibits, and shows, but a buffet lunch, drinks for the adults, and educational activities for the kids are also provided via the reserved outdoor private event space.
