If you get your highschooler to talk to a professional, what do you expect the kid to learn?
Colleges do this too with freshman required to attend a career night where they get to ask professionals about their day to day work and how they ended up in their career and the courses they took.
In a recent session, I spoke to a student and showed her some chips, what semiconductor industry is. Made sure that she knew the concept of industry - eg auto industry.
This is a good time to remember to use the 5 levels.
kids at this age wonder why they need to study courses they dont like for eg chemistry
I told a little bit about interdisciplinary, multiperspectivity. Importance of talking to different kinds of people. Inclusivity.
I found a chance to tell about Hachimoji DNA with 8 letters. She connected to it as she just started learning about the 4 letter DNA.
I suggested planning and taking up mini projects.
tours of any fabs or companies nearby
drive goals through your projects
