6	Register	Find Your Passion STEM Careers Exploration July 13-17	This full day program invites learners to identify their passion, that element in life that fills them with insatiable curiosity and an interior drive to learn more. Each young person will take several personality inventories, examine current degree offerings in American Universities and the types of careers they can prepare for. Choosing just three, students will go deeper to identify current leaders in those fields and how they arrived where they are. Specific goals and objectives will be developed for project based portfolio building activities that can lead them onto the path to pursue their passion once the class is done.
