STEM Career Exploration

Afterschool is where curiosity turns into possibility. The Maine Afterschool Network's STEM career-exploration learning portal help Maine afterschool programs open young people's eyes to the careers all around them, while giving staff the tools to facilitate hands-on activities with confidence and the information to answer youth questions and show them real pathways. Each training pairs a "day in the life" video of a real Maine STEM professional with a connected hands-on activity — so youth don't just learn about a career, they step into it and experience what that kind of work actually feels like.
