Support High School Seniors—STEM Signing Day 2026

Know a Core Plus Aerospace senior graduating this spring? Encourage them to apply for Washington State STEM Signing Day 2026—a statewide celebration of students committing to STEM pathways after high school, presented by Boeing, the Seattle Seahawks, and Partnership for Learning.

Modeled after athletic signing days, this event honors Washington high school seniors heading into engineering, advanced manufacturing, and other STEM fields—whether through a university, community or technical college, apprenticeship, or training program.

Selected students will be celebrated on June 5 at the Seattle Seahawks Training Facility in Renton, where they’ll sign a letter of intent and connect with peers and industry leaders. Honorees also receive STEM swag, a gift card for supplies, and a memorable experience—including a visit from Blitz.

Help your students get the recognition they’ve earned—encourage them to apply today. Deadline is May 1!
