My Project
STEM careers are some of the fastest growing, highest paying careers, but exposure to these careers and opportunities to try them out in high school is often limited. Our class is focused on helping students prepare for jobs after high school whether that job involves the need for higher education, trade school, apprenticeships, or just on-the-job training. Lego has created kits for high school students to use and learn about fun careers in the STEM field with hands-on learning. These kits would provide kids with exposure to skills needed by professions like coding, computer science, and engineering.
