In August 2023, members of STEMlens Network embarked on an enriching STEAM Odyssey across the United States. This journey aimed to enhance their understanding of science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM).

The adventure began in New York City with an exclusive tour of the United Nations Headquarters, where participants learned about global policy-making and the role of technology in solving worldwide challenges. A visit to the iconic Empire State Building followed, showcasing its engineering marvels and sustainability initiatives.

Participants also toured the Starbucks Business Center, engaging with leading researchers and partaking in hands-on workshops that provided a glimpse into cutting-edge advancements in fields like artificial intelligence and food technology.

Networking opportunities with professionals and peers were abundant, promoting connections and inspiring collaborative projects within the STEMlens Network community. The journey concluded with a reflective session, encouraging participants to apply their newfound knowledge to their respective fields.
