PNSQC Innovation Day: More Than a Robotics Demonstration
What began as a simple high school robotics demonstration at the last PNSQC conference has evolved into something much bigger.
On Sunday, October 11, 2026 (1:00 PM – 5:30 PM), the day before the main PNSQC Conference begins, we will host our first-ever PNSQC Innovation Day at the University Place Hotel in Portland, OR.
Innovation Day is designed to bring our entire community together—students, educators, parents, and technology professionals—to explore the future of learning and technology. This unique event combines hands-on student projects, live robotics, and educational seminars into a shared experience where curiosity meets opportunity.
What to Expect:
Student Project Displays: Brilliant young minds showcasing research, ideas, and prototypes in STEM, AI, software, and cybersecurity.
Robotics Demonstrations: Local student teams putting their engineering, testing, and problem-solving skills to the test in live competition activities.
Educational Seminars: Practical, real-world discussions tailored for parents, teachers, and professionals looking to understand AI and the rapidly changing tech landscape.
Our goal is simple: create opportunities for students to explore future possibilities, connect with industry professionals, and help everyone better understand the technologies shaping our world.
Get Involved & Spread the Word!
