Celebrate Engineers Week

Engineers Week is a time to celebrate the contributions that engineers make to society, both locally and globally. Together with our clients, our engineers apply an innovative spirit, problem-solving skills, and unwavering commitment to positively impact our communities.

One of the key areas where engineers have a significant impact is in environmental stewardship. Through their expertise in fields such as waste management, water infrastructure, and sustainable design, engineers play a crucial role in developing solutions to address environmental challenges. See how we are helping our client collect and recycle 50,000 tons of organic material and divert it away from landfills.

Engineers also contribute to expanding mobility and improving transportation systems. Whether it’s designing safer routes, developing innovative public transit solutions, or creating smart infrastructure, engineers are instrumental in shaping the way people move from place to place. See how we helped our client expand mobility throughout a growing part of their community.

Furthermore, engineers are constantly driving consumer product innovations that improve our daily lives. From the food and beverages on our grocery store shelves, to paper and other durable products, to home improvement products, engineers are responsible for designing and improving the products we use every day. See how ingenuity and creativity leads to advancements that enhance functionality, durability, and the consumer experience.

Proud to Support these STEM Programs and Events

Introduce a Girl to Science & Engineering 

This free event focuses on introducing girls ages 8-14 to STEM roles by exposing them to the wide variety of STEM fields and opportunities through hands-on activities, and boys are also welcome! 

• Thursday, April 10, 2025, from 4 to 7 p.m. at Foth – 2121 Innovation Court, De Pere, WI. Explore the fun of robotics with a local robotics team. Experience virtual reality. Engage in numerous science and engineering activities. 
• Register here.

The Einstein Project

In the 2023-24 school year, 1,498 science kits were sent out to more than 600 classrooms, reaching around 19,000 students, and 366 teachers experienced 228 hours of cumulative professional learning provided by the Einstein Project, impacting the learning experience of thousands of students.

• STEM Family Day is happening on April 12 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Brown County STEM Innovation Center. This event offers hands-on learning opportunities for kids of all ages through engaging STEM activities. Foth is proud to support this initiative, providing a fun and educational experience for the community.

Take Your Child to Work Day 

Foth’s commitment to fostering curiosity and education in STEM continues to be cultivated through Take Your Child to Work Day – April 24, 2025. Our members unite virtually from the Milwaukee, Des Moines, and Green Bay offices to talk about their careers and highlight their projects.  Throughout the day, STEM activities are led by Foth members as they guide kids through creating, thinking, and working collaboratively to solve challenges as if they were engineers. Activities include building and programing Lego robots, performing water quality testing, building cup towers, creating and modifying scribble robots, making elephant toothpaste, and touring a local landfill. These initiatives are crucial to making STEM fields more accessible and exciting for children and inspiring the next generation of scientists, engineers, and innovators.

Brown County First Robotics

Foth is a strong supporter of Brown County First Robotics, including donations of old computers as well as financial support. This organization is a passion project for one of our members who mentors local high school teams. Funds also support junior high robotics teams and many Lego League teams in the area.

Tunkhannock Robotics Team

TigerTrons is a school-run organization providing STEM education in Tunkhannock, Pennsylvania through team-based activities. Any kids in the area can participate in the six-week program to develop and build a fully functional robot. Students are involved in all necessary steps in this process, including ordering and assembling parts, pooling marketing resources, and preparing for competitions. They use tools like a laser cutting machine, guided by nine mentors to enhance the performance and presentation of their robot. 

Foth supports TigerTrons through sponsorship, funds for supplies, and volunteer days. The community can support by visiting the TigerTrons’ website, Facebook, and Instagram pages. They seek sponsors and donations to buy game pieces and materials. 

The team is in their third week of building their robot, aiming to qualify for the world competition in Houston in mid-April. Competitions will be streamed online, with links posted on social media starting in March. TigerTrons is also looking for mentors. The application process is straightforward, and mentors will be set up with an FRC team. 

Pulaski High School Engineering Capstone Project  

Pulaski High School offers many Project Lead the Way (PLTW) courses that engage high school students in interdisciplinary engineering topics. These courses are built on project-based fundamentals and help students develop essential skills such as critical thinking and collaboration. Foth engineers are partnering with a senior-level PLTW course to mentor students through their engineering capstone design projects. Engineers attend a formal kick-off with the students and faculty and meet with their student design groups bi-weekly as they navigate their engineering projects. The students are to have their projects completed for an engineering showcase in May. Foth engineers will attend the capstone showcase as judges and spectators.

In addition to the support provided by the engineers, Foth provides support via a charitable contribution to the Pulaski High School Technology and Engineering Department. The purpose of this contribution is to aid in funding specifically for the engineering development and design capstone project materials. 

Community members can show their support by attending the showcase.
