CORE Roadshows
In 2023, CORE launched the CORE Roadshow with 4 events. The CORE Roadshow is tailored to the needs of our Partner Schools, offers two formats (classroom and fair styles), and brings UMN-TC STEM ecosystem partners to schools. We are the logistical experts and the bridge between the university and local schools. The Roadshow allows us to bring CORE programming to a wider audience and greater number of students.
