The Knowledge Makers showcased an array of demonstrations ranging from innovative robots and intriguing puzzles to Lego and electronics projects, the Polifonia team presented a workshop on "Music Meets Machines", where it gave a look into cutting-edge technologies used to represent music history and the Summer Scholarships for Black Students attracted interest and engagement from school teachers, parents, young people, and the local job centre.
The day was an exceptional chance for STEM-focused organisations to provide enrichment and advancement opportunities to schools, communities, and colleges in the local area. The event aimed to highlight various technologies and career paths designed for adult audiences, with particular emphasis on women and younger individuals.
