Last year, Innovation Week brought STEM education to life for more than 1,000 Oklahoma City Public Schools seventh graders, connecting students with hands-on experiences and the people shaping Oklahoma’s future.

Now, Innovation Week 2026 is almost here, and we need volunteers to help bring this year’s programming to life. Your time can help students explore new possibilities, discover local career pathways and see a future for themselves in science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics.

Watch our 2025 recap to see the impact of this work, then sign up to be part of what comes next.
