More than 750 local middle and high school students got the chance to see and get their hands on what local manufacturers are making in their home towns at the annual Dream It Do It Western New York Manufacturing and STEM Fair Friday.
After canceling the 2020 and 2021 fairs due to COVID-19, watching the teens explore the dozens of booths and talk with the representatives of local industry was an encouraging scene for Evelyn Sabina, executive director of DIDI.
“They’ve been engaging, they’ve been asking questions, they’ve been curious about what’s going on,” she said. “It was really exciting to finally see this again.”
