Iowa Public Television Helps Students Find STEM Careers

In order to help students explore STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) careers, Iowa Public Television (IPTV) is providing a series of no cost ICN sessions related to STEM careers. During these sessions, students will have the opportunity to meet various professionals in Iowa who are working in STEM careers. Students also have an opportunity to see the professionals on the job as they will be viewing a short video produced by IPTV during the session.

Educators know that in 7th and 8th grade, Iowa schools are required to offer career education including exploration of career opportunities. This process is designed to help students complete a high school and career development plan. These sessions are a great resource for schools needing to help students with the critical work in planning their futures. For some sessions, free copies of the 4 disc DVD set, Explore More, will be offered. Sign up today and please share this information with your colleagues!
