Tips for Making Connections to STEM Careers

Introduce options youth have as part of a future STEM workforce in creative ways.
Find STEM role models to engage with youth. Have them engage in a STEM activity with youth and align the skills learned in that activity to their career, rather than stand and share about their job.
Encourage youth to discuss how the activity is relevant to their lives. This helps youth see themselves in STEM careers.
Assist youth with researching pathways to careers - What educational level, high school courses, clubs, or internships could help youth achieve their STEM career goals?
