“What do you want to be when you grow up?”
It’s a question kids get asked all the time. And it can be a hard question to answer – whether they are five or fifteen years old.
Students can identify potential career paths in these ways: reflect on their skills and interests, get introduced to different options, and discuss your values and goals. If you like STEM activities at school, it’s likely you will enjoy engineering, which is the “E” of the STEM subjects of science, technology, engineering and math.
Some careers, like engineering, might be a little less familiar than others.
Our Roadmap for Future Innovators is an online resource designed for younger students to help them figure out if engineering could be a good choice and understand what’s required to become an engineer.
