Attendees: Cralls at the beginning, Matt, Socks, Nate, Lauren

Cralls portion:

• We can bring students in on a visitor badge. Need to figure out the number of students and which day.
• The high school group is coming back. It will be 15 kids instead of 30 like last year. They are probably coming on Friday.
  • We will pull people to do a similar Q&A session with them again this year
• Cralls can make a 2026 partnership form if we think it’s helpful. Here’s last year’s: https://forms.gle/Wgx78jkgC2X7qFtQA
• Cralls can be available to give students an intro and lead them to their booth if we want
• Cralls is also reaching out to Code in the Schools to possibly bring them as well since a band is supporting them through album sales

• To create a visitor badge, Cralls needs a group lead and number of badges
