STEM Enrichment Program
Through this enrichment program we will explore different career opportunities within STEM and the fields surrounding it. Students will have an opportunity to explore careers that they find interesting or take surveys to find out what career might be a good fit for them. Then students will begin their research.
Students will be tasked to create a presentation about what career they wish to pursue and detailed steps they will need to get there. As a staff, we will support students throughout this journey and provide support whenever possible to help the students reach their goal!
