Come see inside Amazon!

An Inside Look is your middle school student’s chance to learn about career opportunities at leading companies, network with professionals from diverse backgrounds, and meet other girls with an interest in STEM. This time around we’re heading to Amazon’s 3.6 million-square-foot MQY1 Fulfillment Center in Mt. Juliet.

Many Amazon FCs span the equivalent of 28 football fields and can hold tens of millions of items on any given day. Yes, tens of millions. The scale of the centers can be difficult to grasp, even in person, but this tour will help students get a sense of how it all comes together. Plus, the five-story building on Golden Bear Gateway at East Division is full of robotics and other high-tech gadgets.

We’ll learn all about Amazon’s innovative products and fulfillment services, how they impact our daily lives and make genuine connections with pros who are responsible for getting things to our front door. So you’re in, right?! Then, sign up and join us.

At this Inside Look, your student will:

• Meet Amazon employees from all backgrounds
• Learn about the different tech roles at Amazon
• Get an exclusive tour of Nashville’s Amazon fulfillment center
• Participate in round table conversations and speed mentoring with Amazon and the Play Like a Girl community

 

Students will also be provided free lunch and a robotics kit!
