STEAM Connect Pop-Ups are monthly 1.5 hour meetings at local companies to provide a connection to STEAM Pros in their workplace. Each pop-up is designed to give the visitors a behind-the-scene look at the world of STEAM.
The November 2025 pop-up was a visit to Tektronix. Visitors assembled in the vintageTEK museum for an introduction and demonstration of one of our STEM exhibits. Volunteers Dave Brown, Chris Curtin, Robert Dexter, and Pat Green participated.

The group then walked next door to Building 19 for a tour of the Tektronix Reliability Lab where they got to see various different test setups for reliability and environmental testing.

At the end, several of the volunteers shared their journey to technical/STEM careers.
