In a world driven by technology and innovation, it’s more important than ever for students to have an understanding of their potential career paths, especially in the world of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). As the saying goes, you can’t be it if you can’t see it! To help students see careers in action – not just watching people talk about their career on YouTube – Career In STEM® is excited to announce a new partnership with databot™!
As an educator I was often plagued by this question from my students: Why do I need to know this!?
For a while I lacked a good answer. Over time, I came to realize that the answer was STEM careers. Thus, I completely transformed my entire curriculum to deliver every lesson (still using the same lessons and NGSS standards) through the lens of a STEM career.
The goal in this approach was to help students DO what real STEM professionals do, now! Oftentimes there is a vast disconnect between what students perceive about careers, and reality. The faster we can expose students and engage them in authentic career exploration activities, the faster we can help them see what careers are (and are not!) a good fit.
Based on over a decade of teaching experience, I created the Career In STEM® Explorer system in 2017. Specifically designed to put students in the driver’s seat of their future like never before, the Explorer System offers:
1. 200+ STEM Career Profiles, each including a virtual job shadowing, information sheets in either English and Spanish, and resume building, hands-on “Try It” activities.
2. Digital Resume Builder to help students showcase their abilities and build an online portfolio, helping them set up for future success in the job market.
3. Monthly STEM Challenges to encourage your students to keep exploring, including the $500 Summer STEM Scholarship Contest, Coding for a Cause Hackathon Contest, and more!
But that’s not all! When you purchase the Explorer System now through the end of November, you also receive a FREE databot™! Like the Explorer system, the databot™ is a groundbreaking educational technology that develops the next generation of scientists, engineers, mathematicians, and technologists through DOING.
With databot™’s 16 sensors, this one device empowers students to explore in chemistry, physics, earth science, and life sciences. It is like an entire prep room full of probeware, in the palm of your hand! The databot™ is also completely programmable with light and sound, ranging from robots to drones. It’s tiny enough to fit in your hand, yet versatile enough for all STEAM explorations. You can launch it on a rocket, control a robot, create an interactive light show, collect environmental data, and so much more! My students’ favorite thing to do is use the temperature probe. And there are SO many more things to do with databot™! We’re doing two things per week from this 50 Things to Try With Your Databot list as part of a makerspace class I run – get the FREE DOWNLOAD HERE!
Don’t miss out on this incredible opportunity to unlock a world of possibilities for your students, and get them on the fast track to their future by DOING real STEM with both the Explorer and databot™!
