The student who is always sketching ideas, building things, figuring out how something works, or asking, “What if we made it this way instead?” may already be developing the thinking of an Industrial Designer. Career exploration helps parents and educators connect the dots between what students enjoy, what they’re naturally good at, what they can study in college, and where those skills could take them professionally.

Through hands on experiences in design, technology, engineering, creativity, and problem solving, students get opportunities to explore their interests while discovering careers they may have never known existed. We don’t have to wait until graduation to ask, “What do you want to be?” We can start much earlier by helping students see the possibilities in 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗮𝗹𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝗲.

STE(A)M Truck's Young Makers at Flat Rock Middle School just learned one of the most powerful lessons there is: how to grow their own food. Across a multi-day "Food Without Limits" experience in Tyrone, GA, students confronted food insecurity and food deserts head-on, building wooden planters with real tools and adding them to the school's thriving community garden. Through sustainable gardening, these Young Makers are taking control of their own food sources. And with educators reflecting daily to carry the learning back to their classrooms, this is a build that keeps giving.

SPARK CHANGE. DRIVE INNOVATION. VOLUNTEER WITH US! Help bring hands-on learning to youth across Atlanta. Just a few hours can mean a lifetime of impact. We're looking for volunteers to: - Support hands-on STEAM activities - Help with engagement logistics - Guide youth in coding, building & design What you can expect: - Flexible scheduling - Training provided - Year-round opportunities Ready to roll with us? www.steamtruck.org/volunteer #STEAMTRUCK #VolunteerATL #AtlantaVolunteers

We’re not looking to fill board seats. We’re building a board on purpose. STE(A)M Truck brings hands-on making to students across Metro Atlanta and rural Georgia. That means high-tech tools like 3D printers, laser cutters, and robotics kits, alongside low-tech tools like hand saws, hammers, and cardboard. Students design, build, test, and problem-solve in ways that feel real because they are. As we grow into our next chapter, we’re looking for board members who bring more than impressive titles. We need people who think strategically, care deeply about educational equity, and are ready to be active partners in the work. We’re especially interested in leaders with experience in: -Finance and fundraising -Corporate partnerships -K–12 education -Marketing and communications -Legal, HR, or nonprofit governance Board members help shape where we’re headed and how we get there. That includes offering strategic guidance, supporting fundraising and donor relationships, opening doors to partnerships, and contributing time and energy to meetings, committees, and events. The commitment is roughly 12–18 hours per month, along with a minimum annual personal contribution of $1,000. What do you get in return? The opportunity to directly influence how more than 3,000 students each year experience STEAM learning. Access to governance training and professional development. A thoughtful, values-aligned community. And the satisfaction of knowing your time is helping build something that genuinely matters. To be clear, this isn’t symbolic service. This is hands-on governance. Your voice and your effort will shape how we support educators, expand access, and create real, career-connected learning pathways for young people. If you’re excited by the idea of rolling up your sleeves to help build choice-filled futures for the next generation of creators and problem-solvers, we’d love to talk. Email marsha@steamtruck.org to learn more.

Join us for our next STE(A)M Truck Saturday! This month, we're building mini geodesic domes using straws and discovering the engineering magic behind these incredibly strong structures. Students will explore geometric patterns, test structural stability, and learn why architects and engineers love these designs. It's hands-on problem-solving that connects math, science, and real-world applications. Perfect for curious minds ready to build, test, and create. See you there! 📍 @pittsburghyards , 352 University Ave SE, Atlanta, GA 30310 📅 Saturday, January 25, 2026 ⏰ 10 AM - 12 PM Register at steamtruck.org/saturdays

There's something powerful about watching educators light up when they realize: "I can do this. My students can do this." That's what happens when teachers get hands-on with the same tools their students will use. They're not just observing - they're building, deconstructing, experimenting, and creating right alongside each other. Using band saws. Exploring design processes. Experiencing the full maker journey. And when they walk back into their classrooms? They bring that energy, confidence, and excitement with them. One teacher impacts 150+ students each year. Your gift multiplies. This year, we equipped 300+ educators who will inspire tens of thousands of Georgia students. Help us reach even more teachers in 2026.
