Last year, we hosted our first STEAM Career Exploration Day, and it was a tremendous success. Our students were inspired by real professionals who shared their passions, experiences, and hands-on learning. This year, we are eager to make an even greater impact, but we cannot do it without you.
We are seeking volunteers from STEAM fields to participate in our Annual STEAM Career Day on Thursday, April 23 (8:00 AM – 2:30 PM). Whether you can join us for part of the day, the full day, or even virtually, your time and expertise will directly influence the aspirations of our students.
Your participation will:
Help students connect their learning to real-world careers
Expand their vision for college and career opportunities
Provide representation that allows them to imagine themselves in STEAM fields
Make a lasting impact on their future trajectory
Presentations can be simple and engaging, sharing your career journey, demonstrating a skill, or leading an optional hands-on activity. You will work with grade levels that match your comfort and content, and we will support you every step of the way.
If you are interested in volunteering, please complete the survey linked in this email. If you know additional colleagues or organizations in STEAM fields who may be interested, we would greatly appreciate you sharing the Google form with them as well. https://forms.gle/EcGYNankYXmTtJvN6
If you have any questions, I would love to connect with you directly at (623) 327-2840 or [email protected].
