Engineers Week is more than a week; it’s a year-round commitment to inspiring students in engineering and other STEM fields.

In the United States, jobs in the science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields are projected to grow 8.1% between now and 2034, however, a persistent qualified talent gap remains.(1) And currently, only 15% of high school graduates are prepared for college-level STEM coursework.(2)

By introducing young people to STEM fields, they can begin establishing a passion, building competency, and growing confident in their ability to explore a career in a related field. Engineers Week is a time to celebrate and support the programs, educators, and champions helping connect kids to the wonders of STEM.

NWTC STEM Fair

As a sponsor and participant of this two-day immersive learning experience, Foth members help welcome approximately 2,300 sixth-grade students from local school districts, offering hands-on STEM activities designed to spark curiosity and inspire future careers in science, technology, engineering, and math. The Foth booth at the NWTC STEM Fair features a live demonstration of augmented reality and 3D scanning. It’s a great event to help students learn about STEM fields and the challenges our teams solve every day! 

The Einstein Project

As a founding partner, Foth is proud to support this community program working to make STEM education and learning more accessible and inspiring.

  • More than 655 teachers and 20,000 students receive STEM curriculum kits inside their classrooms to help teachers feel empowered to create the best possible learning environment.
  • STEM Family Day takes place on April 18 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Brown County STEM Innovation Center and will welcome 1,300 kids, family members, and STEM enthusiasts taking part in 40+ hands-on activities. Foth is proud to support this initiative, providing a fun and educational experience for the community.
  • Coming soon! Creativity Scrimmages – a free program for all Wisconsin teachers and students in partnership with other community partners. Designed with STEM in mind, the scrimmages focus on building durable skills and can be used across grade levels and subject areas. They provide an opportunity for kids to grow the 4 Cs of creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, and communication. Important for all engineers, but equally important for any career endeavor.

Take Your Child to Work Day

On April 23, several Foth locations will participate in the annual Take Your Child to Work Day, a meaningful opportunity to engage our members’ children through a fun, interactive experience that brings our work — and our culture — to life. By welcoming the next generation into our offices, we help them better understand not only what their parents do at Foth, but how our teams collaborate, problem‑solve, and innovate every day.

  • Participate in hands‑on, STEM‑focused activities designed to spark curiosity and creativity while showcasing the real‑world impact of engineering, science, and technology.
  • Experience how ideas are developed, tested, and refined through interactive demonstrations and team‑based challenges that mirror how our members work together to solve complex problems for our clients.

More than just a day of learning, Take Your Child to Work Day reinforces Foth’s commitment to engagement, connection, and community. By creating an inclusive and inspiring environment for our members’ families, we strengthen our culture and help inspire future innovators, problem solvers, and leaders — all while having a lot of fun along the way.

Tunkhannock Robotics Team

For nearly 30 years, the Tigertrons FIRST Robotics Team (FRC 222) has equipped rural Pennsylvania students with hands-on STEM and engineering experience that mirrors real world industry. Open to 8th–12th graders, the team provides mentor led training in CAD design, precision machining, Java programming, electrical systems, and project management, including guidance from Foth engineers.

Students collaborate with mechanical, electrical, programming, and public relations teams to design and build competitive robots under real deadlines. With a record of competitive success, leadership awards, and student advancement into engineering, trades, and military careers, Tigertrons strengthens the STEM talent pipeline while inspiring the next generation of innovators across the Mid-Atlantic region.

Foth supports Tigertrons through sponsorship, funds for supplies, and volunteer days. The community can support by visiting the Tigertrons’ website, Facebook, and Instagram pages. They seek sponsors and donations to buy game pieces and materials. 

Pulaski High School STEM Presentations

Foth continues to partner with Pulaski High School to help prepare students for higher education and careers in STEM. Members meet with groups of students enrolled in various technology and engineering courses and discuss various types of engineering careers, as well as the projects our engineers lead. Demonstrations using virtual and augmented reality show how our engineers use technology in their everyday work.

See How Engineering Makes a Positive Impact On Communities

Engineers Week is also a time to celebrate the contributions that engineers make to society, both locally and globally. Together with our clients, our engineers apply an innovative spirit, problem-solving skills, and unwavering commitment to positively impact our communities.

One of the key areas where engineers have a significant impact is in environmental stewardship. Through their expertise in fields such as waste management, water infrastructure, and sustainable design, engineers play a crucial role in developing solutions to address environmental challenges. See how we are helping our client collect and recycle 50,000 tons of organic material and divert it away from landfills.

Engineers also contribute to expanding mobility and improving transportation systems. Whether it’s designing safer routes, developing innovative public transit solutions, or creating smart infrastructure, engineers are instrumental in shaping the way people move from place to place. See how we helped our client expand mobility throughout a growing part of their community.

Furthermore, engineers are constantly driving consumer product innovations that improve our daily lives. From the food and beverages on our grocery store shelves, to paper and other durable products, to home improvement products, engineers are responsible for designing and improving the products we use every day. See how ingenuity and creativity leads to advancements that enhance functionality, durability, and the consumer experience.
