Let's Talk About It Tuesdays: "Igniting Tradition with Innovation: CODE313 at the 66th Ford Fireworks in Detroit"

Juan Linares Orihuela • June 27, 2024

Celebrating S.T.E.A.M. Education and Technological Wonder in Motor City

The annual Ford Fireworks show in downtown Detroit is not just a spectacle of lights and colors against the night sky—it's a celebration deeply ingrained in the city's culture. This year, as we gear up for the 66th edition on Monday, June 24, 2024, the excitement is palpable.


What makes this year even more special is the integration of technology into the festivities, thanks to the participation of CODE313. This organization has been instrumental in adding a touch of innovation to the event, showcasing advancements in robotics, coding, virtual reality, and S.T.E.A.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) education.


CODE313's involvement underscores Detroit's commitment to nurturing technological literacy among its youth and inspiring future innovators. Their exhibits and demonstrations promise to engage and educate attendees of all ages, bridging the gap between tradition and the cutting edge of technology.
