Make learning come to life! Participating in hands-on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math) Challenges can provide students with opportunities to develop new skills and understandings related to their preferred life/career choices. These challenges help students build 21st Century Skills while exploring potential occupations of interest. Students will be able to reflect on what areas best fit their interest, skills, values, etc. as they work to create the life they want to live.

The purpose of this resource section is to provide educators – STEM teachers, subject teachers, and Career teachers – with the tools to help them take students from their initial thinking about careers (i.e., what subjects they like, the type of post-secondary education they are interested in, the general career sectors they may have an interest in, etc.) to a deeper understanding of the variety of careers available and how previous training, on-the-job education opportunities, and personal interests, and a lifelong-learning philosophy, both advance and expand one’s career prospects.

Sections to explore include:
Introduction to Career Development
Employability Skills
Essential Skills
Career Adaptability – Change & Growth
Community Contributions (Coming soon)
Personal Management & Planning

Thrively is a website that helps kids find online and local activities that fit their particular interests. Thrively was created with input from pediatric neuropsychologists, and the site bursts with teacher-contributed lesson plans and ideas. Once a teacher sets up a class, kids take an assessment that identifies 23 potential strengths. The site then suggests activities tailored to kids' interests and strengths; Thrively says it has more than 100,000 on file and has recently created new content related to projects, videos, journaling, and career pathway maps. Kids can click on a "Done It" button when they've completed an activity, and progress can be viewed using site dashboards. Users can also share activity boards with other members of their social circle.
