If we build it, they will learn. Some dreams begin with an idea. Others begin with a community willing to build something extraordinary together.
For over 30 years RAFT has helped educators cultivate curiosity, creativity and confidence through hands-on STEAM learning. Fields of STEAM is the evening we stop to celebrate that, with the people who make it possible.
When and where
Thursday, September 17, at RAFT’s own facility, 1355 Ridder Park Drive, San Jose. Holding it here is deliberate: guests get to walk through the warehouse, the kits and the workrooms that the whole mission runs on.
What to expect
- Inspiring impact. Stories of what RAFT is doing in Bay Area classrooms right now.
- Celebrating educators. Honoring the STEAM Teachers and Administrators of the Year.
- Community recognition. RAFT Heroes, Partners and Volunteers.
- Silent auction and gathering. Bid, and meet other people who care about this.
