>> MEET THE BUILDERS
Step into the work. This live showcase brings together K–12 builders sharing what they’re creating, what’s showing promise, and what they’re learning along the way. Move through the room to explore ideas up close, ask questions, and engage directly with the people doing the work. Expect candid conversations, live demos, and a deeper look at what’s emerging across early-stage innovation.
