Welcome to the GEARED UP: Mentor Conference, where innovation meets inspiration!
Join us on May 17, 2025, from 9 am to 4 pm at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, Kossiakoff Center, for a day filled with knowledge-sharing, networking, and empowerment.
This conference is proudly presented by Aramco America and aims to equip mentors with the tools and insights needed to effectively guide an increasingly diverse generation of students.
Ready to expand your program’s reach and resilience? Learn how to tap into FIRST Chesapeake’s GEARED UP educator initiative and regional STEM hubs to bring curriculum support, training, and technical tools to your school or community.
Shelly Stoddard walks you through models that have worked in rural, urban, and under-resourced contexts—so you can adapt them to your own backyard. If you’re ready to grow STEM access beyond your team, this is where to start.
