This summer, AIM Institute furthered its connection with communities across the state, hosting outreach booths at local celebration days to highlight its impactful programs and services.
At Carter Lake Days, AIM sparked curiosity and creativity with hands-on activities. Youth had the chance to code using a Dash robot, while attendees of all ages spun the prize wheel for a chance to win AIM swag and more. A raffle for a Google Chromebook added to the excitement and drew strong interest in AIM’s mission.
Meanwhile, at the Adams County Fair, AIM focused on college and tech access, providing valuable information about educational pathways and resources. AIM represenatives also spotlighted the work of AIM’s Educational Outreach Centers in Scottsbluff and Hastings, which offer free services to help students navigate college admissions, explore tech careers and access financial aid.
Both events allowed AIM to strengthen community ties and expand awareness of its year-round initiatives and events to build a stronger, more inclusive tech talent pipeline.
