Suffolk hosts Boston high school students during Mass. STEM Week
used by Suffolk for site documentation across a multitude of jobsites.
Boston, MA Suffolk, one of the largest and most innovative real estate and construction enterprises in the country, hosted students from four city high schools at its headquarters in Roxbury during Massachusetts STEM Week for a day of learning about the role of STEM in the construction industry today.
The students, from Madison Park Technical Vocational High School, John D. O’Bryant School of Mathematics and Science, Excel High School and Roxbury Prep, learned about the various career paths in construction and had the opportunity to engage in a Q&A and panel discussion with Suffolk leaders. The day featured a presentation from Lauren Jones, Massachusetts secretary of labor and workforce development, who encouraged the students to ask questions, lean in, be curious and explore their passions.
The students also were given a demonstration of Boston Dynamics’ “Spot the Robot Dog,” a four-legged robot that Suffolk uses to streamline the process of site documentation. Suffolk is one of the only general contractors in the country that owns this robot and uses it on its jobsites.
