On May 27 at the White House Science Fair in Washington D.C., winners of a national competition to encourage mentoring programs were announced. Wichita is one of seven winners and High Touch Technologies is a member of the STEMpact2020 coalition.

The competition was in response to President Obama’s call to action to get more girls and boys engaged in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). STEMpact2020 partners with US2020 to promote high impact STEM mentoring in Wichita.
