December Cohort: Developing STEM Identities and Making Career Connections


December 2nd, 9th, and 16th 6:30- to 8:00 EST


How do you help youth recognize their connection to and role in STEM? How do you help youth learn about STEM careers? In this module, participants experience several easy-to-implement strategies, including a photo-elicitation activity, learn about how youth form their STEM identities, and then learn how to conduct related activities with youth. Ideally, you have done the ACRES prerequisite of Asking Purposeful Questions before participating in this cohort. The expectation is that you will be live at all three sessions and an active member of this coaching cohort. While funding is still available, $100 stipends are offered to participants who complete feedback surveys before and after a module.
