One of the best parts of working at Freeosk is getting to share what we build with people who are just starting to imagine what their future could look like.
This year marked Freeosk’s fourth time participating in the Girls’ Dream Fair hosted by Junior Achievement, an event focused on introducing middle school girls to the wide range of possibilities within STEM careers. The day is designed to help students explore interests, learn new skills, and start asking bigger questions about where their curiosity might take them.
Throughout the fair, students take part in sessions centered on goal setting, career exploration, and personal development, all through Junior Achievement’s It’s My Future curriculum. But one of the most energizing parts of the day is the trade show, where companies from across STEM fields bring their work to life.
At our booth, we shared a hands‑on look at how Freeosk works behind the scenes. Students explored everything from a test chassis, which we use to test sample dispensing, to individual kiosk components that show how the experience is built. This year, they also got to see a Slim kiosk in action, helping connect the dots between engineering, design, and the in‑store experience shoppers see every day. And yes, there were samples too.
What stood out most were the conversations. Students were curious about how products get built, how teams work together, and what it really means to work in a technical role. Being able to show real equipment and talk openly about how our teams collaborate made those conversations feel tangible instead of abstract.
Supporting events like the Girls’ Dream Fair reflects something core to how we operate at Freeosk. We believe innovation starts with curiosity and grows through access and opportunity. Showing our work, answering questions honestly, and creating space for people to see themselves in future roles matters to us.
