At Resource Training & Solutions, we’re proud to host two engaging conferences that give students the chance to explore, connect, and showcase their talents. Spark STEM and Young Authors Young Artists are designed to ignite passion, celebrate creativity, and encourage collaboration among students from across central Minnesota.
Held on college campuses, these conferences provide students with an authentic, inspiring setting—introducing them to higher education environments while they engage in hands-on challenges, storytelling, and artistic expression. Students not only learn from experts but also share their work and gain inspiration from their peers.
Check out the details of both conferences below and share our Student Conferences flyer with your district staff!
