Programs like these are possible because of the generous support of our community partners.

Thank you to Koch, Textron Aviation, Kansas Gas Service, and Evergy for helping create hands-on learning experiences that inspire the next generation of innovators, problem-solvers, and future workforce leaders.

Our summer camps wouldn't be possible without the incredible support of our community partners! 🖤💛

A special thank you to our presenting sponsor, Koch, and our camp sponsors, Textron Aviation, Kansas Gas Service, and Evergy, for helping create hands-on learning experiences that inspire the next generation of innovators, problem-solvers, and leaders.

A little friendly competition. 🥚

The WSU Tech Foundation was proud to have Courtney Sendall and Dr. Sheree Utash represent us at the Riverfest Celebrity Egg Toss. While the trophy may have gone to another team this year, it was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate one of Wichita’s favorite traditions and connect with the community.

What an incredible year for the FutureMaker Lab.

The future rooftop patio at NCAT NEXT will stand as a lasting reminder of what is possible when organizations invest in students, workforce training, and the future of Wichita.

Thank you to the Fidelity Bank for being part of the Accelerate. Innovate. Aviate. Capital Campaign and helping shape the next generation of aviation and advanced manufacturing professionals.

We believe access to technical education can change the trajectory of a life, a family and a community.

That’s why the Fidelity Bank Foundation has made a sizeable investment in WSU Tech's new aviation training facility through the Accelerate. Innovate. Aviate. Capital Campaign, helping expand programs and capacity at the National Center for Aviation Training.

More classrooms, more lab space and more specialized equipment mean more students can gain career-ready skills and step with confidence into the region’s growing aviation and manufacturing workforce.

Here’s to the students who will learn, lead and lift Wichita’s future.
