SOFWERX, not only serves a vital role in advancing technology for Special Operations Forces (SOF) but also actively engages with school-age students to ignite their passion for STEM. SOFWERX recognizes the importance of inspiring the next generation of innovators and problem solvers, and in collaboration with local schools, clubs, government, and community partners, SOFWERX hosts STEM-related events in the Tampa Bay area to bring STEM education to life for young minds.

By mentoring, educating, and involving school-age students in STEM activities, SOFWERX helps foster a love for these disciplines, encouraging students to pursue STEM careers. This not only benefits the students but also strengthens the STEM workforce pipeline, ensuring a brighter future filled with innovation and technological advancement.
