Following participation in the supplement, students will be able to:

- Articulate why STEM careers and STEM skills are important to their futures, regardless
of where they live now or where they choose to live as an adult.
- Identify two-three STEM fields that they wish to explore beyond these activities.
- Chart a path to get them from where they are now to a STEM career.
