Summer STEM Career Exploration Made EASY!

I hope this post finds you well, and that you are gearing up for an exciting summer! Did you know that this upcoming summer is the perfect time for STEM career exploration?! It’s true! In the summer months students have more time to explore, discover, and get involved in career exploration initiatives over summer break. Thus I urge you to leverage this critical time to help your students build a future they love 😊 If you are looking for EFFORTLESS ways to do so, here’s how I can help!

FREE

Quick Start STEM Career Exploration Kit: If you don’t have this already, download free at careerinstem.com/free. This Kit has lots of free STEM career exploration resources to help you get started such as a ‘why STEM careers’ presentation, a career exploration graphic organizer, program assessment tool, and lots more. These are fast, easy, click and go resources that would be a great fit for intro type activities for any summer program.

Each monthly newsletter I send out (second Tuesday of each month) includes link to a free STEM career exploration poster for the month. June will go out on the 7th. This poster will feature ‘summer’ related careers. When you click on the title of each career within the poster it goes to the matching online career profile in my Explorer system with virtual job shadow YouTube video, career info sheet (in English & Spanish), and hands-on ‘try it’ activity. I also announce exclusive free offers in the monthly newsletter, such as an upcoming FREE How to Become a STEM Major workshop on May 24 at 6:30pm eastern. Be sure to open these emails – there’s tons of good stuff in there!

As an idea you could do the ‘why STEM careers’ presentation from the free Kit, then have students explore the careers from the June poster from the newsletter, then have them use the graphic organizer from the Kit to keep track of careers they are interested in. All of this would be free, and all would work whether in person or virtual!
