NSTC & NE FIRST: Robotics & STEM Workforce (10 Nov 2026)

Tue, 10 Nov 2026 22:00:00 GMT

NSTC is delighted to host a STEM workforce development event, held in partnership with NE FIRST and the Hammond Castle Museum in Gloucester, MA.

Tuesday, November 10
5:00 to 8:00 p.m.

Hammond Castle Museum
80 Hesperus Avenue
Gloucester, MA 01930

The Museum will be closed to outside guests during this event, allowing attendees free range of everything it has to offer. Local teams from the FIRST Robotics Competition program will showcase their talents with student-built, industrial-sized robots for demonstration in the Great Hall.

This event also highlights workforce pathways in STEM, connecting attendees with the mentors, educators, and companies shaping career opportunities on the North Shore. Explore the Hammond Castle Museum, network with colleagues and connections new and old, and learn how you can become involved in the future of STEM across the region.

Tickets are $35 for NSTC members and $50 for non-members, which includes museum admission and refreshments. Students and educators attend free; email administrator@nstc.org for the registration code.

Parking is limited to 58 vehicles, first-come, first-served—we highly recommend carpooling with colleagues and will have shuttle service from a nearby location to ensure all ticketed attendees can enjoy this event.

Accessibility note: the Hammond Castle Museum, a historic landmark built in the late 1920s, is not handicapped accessible for assistive devices such as wheelchairs and walkers due to the number of stairs. More information about accessibility.

On February 12, 1877, Alexander Graham Bell placed the first long-distance telephone call to his Exeter Street laboratory in Boston, to his assistant, Thomas Watson in the presence of over 500 guests.

In December, we’re gathering for our Winter Mixer at Turner’s Seafood at The Lyceum Hall in Salem, site of the first long-distance phone call 150 years ago!

Technology on the North Shore has come a long way in those 150 years, and we’re proud to share with you in building what’s to come in the future. Please join us for an evening of networking with friends and colleagues new and old as we celebrate the region's progress and promise.

Thank you to our Event Host Sponsors!
