Event Description:


Current & Next Gen STEAM Pros!

Engage Your Kids in Building Minds, Relationships & Opportunities

Minecraft is a popular virtual computer program game that allows the user to build and design worlds using blocks while collaborating with other users on a server.

This program aids in the introduction of next generation individuals to the Science Technology Engineering Arts & Mathematics (STEAM) industry.

BESThq community’s STEAM professionals and friends are joining participants in a day of fun and learning. No background in STEAM or Minecraft is needed.



Our STEAM Pathways Center intentionally intersects Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Math (STEAM) current and next gen professionals for real-world impact. Our Vision includes attracting like-minded orgs to ignite and inspire next gen STEAM pros while providing a clear pathway for their success.

We believe this pathway must include all elements of our communities (ie. for-profit, government, non-profit, and schools). Our Center connects and builds these pathways via:

  • Dedicated on-site and virtual programs and workshops (ages 5 – 50+, all are welcome)
  • Convenient west side location near Beaverton Main Post Office, MAX and mass transit
  • Workstations with state of the art software and online resources
  • Collaborative workspace with technical support available and drop-in programs, camps and classes
  • Connection to youth STEM / STEAM programs like Minecraft, Legorobotics, MATE, Rockets and more
  • Clearinghouse and access to partners and resources for innovation & opportunity



This program creates a collaborative setting with a small group of students from different backgrounds to increase creativity, critical thinking, and problem solving skills, and to introduce the concept of computer science and other STEAM professions as a possible career.

All are welcome, family friendly! Those under 18 MUST be accompanied by an adult and may be photographed.

Join our Hybrid event:

  • In-person participants: you can borrow one of our PC computers or bring your own. No Zoom account needed.
  • Virtual participants: you will need a Zoom account and a device with Java Edition Minecraft Release 1.16.5 loaded.  Minecraft licenses available for email checkout.  Second device / screen for Zoom conference also needed.
