FutureReady
College & Technology Tour.
Four campuses. Four days. Hundreds of future innovators. During Digital Inclusion Week, high school students from across the St. Louis region visit leading colleges and universities for immersive technology experiences, campus tours and career exploration.
College. Technology.
Opportunity.
The FutureReady College & Technology Tour introduces students to college life while showcasing how technology is transforming every industry. Students experience real college campuses, meet faculty and college students, participate in hands-on demonstrations, and discover pathways into careers in technology, healthcare, engineering, cybersecurity, construction, entrepreneurship and creative industries.
Four days.
Four campuses.
Each campus welcomes 120 high school students for a full-day experience blending campus tours, hands-on technology labs and career conversations with faculty, employers and college students.
One experience.
Four campuses.
Approximately 80% of each event is identical, so every student receives the same high-quality experience — while each university spotlights its own unique strengths.
Eight labs.
Endless futures.
Every campus hosts the same eight interactive labs — hands-on environments where students touch the technology, meet the people, and discover the careers behind it.
Touch the technology shaping tomorrow.
Students engage directly with robotics, AI tools, medical simulations, drones and creative tech guided by faculty and industry professionals.
See yourself on campus.
Full campus tours led by current college students — dorms, dining, labs, libraries and everything in between.
Meet the people behind the careers.
Small-group conversations with employers, alumni and professionals across technology, healthcare, engineering and creative industries.
Build a network that lasts beyond the tour.
Faculty, admissions, industry mentors and college students exchange ideas, contacts and next-step opportunities with every attendee.
Two ways to help students
see what is possible.
Partners provide funding, access, networks and visibility. Exhibitors bring the hands-on demonstrations students can touch, test and explore.
Organizations that help fund, host, promote and expand the regional impact of the tour.
Teams that submit what they can display, demonstrate or facilitate for students on campus.
Invest in the next
generation of innovators.
Sponsors make it possible for hundreds of students to experience college campuses and world-class technology — at no cost to their families.
