STEM Heroes+ Mentoring Program
Several factors influence your career development
Skills behind disciplines...
Being a STEM Hero goes beyond engaging and inspiring young people to discover career paths in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics. It is more about exposing young people to the transferable skills behind these disciplines and exploring real-world learning opportunities that develop creativity, problem-solving, communication, critical thinking, leadership, and digital fluency.
Skills mentoring bridges the gap between what mentees learn in class and real-world problem-solving. The skills developed through encounters with industry will prepare youth to solve big problems, make an impact in their community, and adapt to the future of work. Future careers may well begin here! As we discover the next generation of innovators, discoverers, creatives, and STEMpreneurs!
Exposing young people to real-world learning encounters makes their school subjects come alive as they see a world of possibilities for the future.
