Come Dressed in Your Favorite Costume! The SHTEAM Punks, a collaborative of creative faculty at TWU, are back with our second annual SHTEAM Punk-ins. Last October dozens of young innovators filled the CFO Lawn with pumpkin-powered fun, and this year we are adding costumes and a new station. Grab a SHTEAM Passport when you arrive, travel to each station to earn a stamp, and collect them all for a prize from the SHTEAM Punks treasure chest.
