Enjoying the Great Minnesota Get-Together with MNIT and our Business Partners
8/23/2019 2:02:58 PM
The Great Minnesota Get-Together is underway, and MNIT is proud to be a part of it again this year. In addition to a booth in the Education Building, MNIT also had the opportunity to lead cybersecurity-focused activities for kids and families during STEM Day.
MNIT Commissioner Tarek Tomes presented a proclamation from Governor Tim Walz announcing STEM Day and then spent some time engaging with Minnesotans and MNIT’s state agency partners. MNIT staffed a table with a cybersecurity tower and cipher activities at STEM Day in Dan Patch Park. MNIT is also showcasing how we work to create a better Minnesota and handing out prizes in the Education building for the duration of the fair.
We are proud to participate in the State Fair, and to share information with Minnesotans about career opportunities, state information technology, and the work we do to keep state systems safe and secure. Stop by and visit us in the Education Building!
Here are some photos from our first day of the fair:
