According to representatives of Kansas State University, the inaugural Digital Summit for Teens will take place on October 4 at the K-State Olathe campus and will provide Kansas City high school students the chance to learn about digital innovation and K-State's cutting-edge degree and certificate programs in the field.
According to K-State representatives, the Carl R. Ice College of Engineering, the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Business Administration, and K-State Salina collaborated on the Digital Summit for Teens.
According to representatives from new programs in digital innovation in media, cybersecurity, computer science, integrated computer science, digital media technology, marketing technology, digital media user experience design, social media management, and digital engagement, students can take part in immersive, hands-on workshops led by faculty experts.
The Sunderland Foundation Innovation Lab at K-State will simulate augmented and virtual reality, mobile app development, and artificial intelligence. Participants will also explore student media learning possibilities with the Collegian Media Group.
The Digital Summit for Teens will also include a panel of business experts from Garmin, KaZoo Digital Media, JNT, Lucky Orange, and VMLY&R who will talk about in-demand market-ready digital skills, vocations, and expectations for future graduates, according to K-State officials.
“K-State is a leader in developing next-gen degree and certificate programs designed to help build the digital workforce of the future,” said Alan Boyer, director of digital innovation programs in the A.Q. Miller School of Media and Communication. “The Digital Summit is an interdisciplinary collaboration across K-State colleges and campuses that sharpens our collective focus on the digital talent pipeline while highlighting K-State’s strategic advantage in higher education digital innovation among land-grant universities.”
According to K-State officials, the Mid-America area Council and Zippia anticipate that over the course of the next ten years, Kansas and area firms will need to recruit more than 40,000 graduates with a mix of current and future-oriented digital skills.
By 2030, there will be 1.7 million positions linked to digital media that need to be filled, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Additionally, according to the agency, entry-level pay for individuals with digital skills would vary from close to $40,000 to more than $111,000 per year.

The workshops, simulations, and industry panel at the summit, according to K-State representatives, will help students better understand the qualifications needed for a variety of careers in the digital industry, including mobile app developer, digital marketing manager,social media specialist, digital artist, digital brand strategist, software developer, animator, data analyst, game designer, and digital brand or product manager.
“The Digital Summit for Teens will demonstrate how each of the digital programs across the university provides every degree - and certificate-seeking student with applied learning experiences, fulfilling our commitment to preparing students for life beyond K-State, starting early in their college experience,” said Chris Culbertson, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. “We’re excited to meet KC-area students at K-State’s Olathe campus for this inaugural event.”

Since diving into numerology in 1997, my path has been marked by extraordinary encounters and insights. A pivotal moment was uncovering a forgotten numerological manuscript in a tucked-away Italian library, which deepened my connection to the ancient wisdom of numbers. Another transformative experience was a meditation retreat in Nepal's tranquil mountains, where I honed my intuition and the art of interpreting numerical vibrations.
These adventures have not only enriched my numerological practice but also my ability to guide others towards understanding their destiny and life's purpose. My approach is deeply personal, rooted in a blend of historical knowledge and intuitive insight, aimed at helping individuals find their alignment with the universe's abundant energies. My mission is simple: to share the power of numerology in illuminating paths to abundance and fulfillment.
