Success Beyond the Classroom's STEMLink5 gives fifth grade students an introduction to careers in science, technology, engineering and math with hands-on sessions led by professionals (college instructors and others) in STEM fields. The STEMLink5 career focus helps students understand how the science and math they study at school can lead to a life’s work that is stimulating, challenging and meaningful.
Starting this Friday, December 11, at 9:00am Metro ECSU nonmember districts may register for this unique and extremely valuable event. Spots will fill on a first-come-first-served basis so mark your calendars!

During their day of attendance, students hear a keynote by a scientist and/or STEM professional and take part in three interactive breakout sessions in a college setting. Students are placed in teams comprised of students from different schools and districts. Teams are then escorted to classrooms by volunteers.
