NESC You're Hired - Schedule your school's spring event now

NESC STEAM Event

for Students in Grades 3-12

* You're Hired! *

You're Hired! is an experience that allows students to use STEAM along with 21st Century Skills to solve real, present-day problems. Students work as a team (company) to find a unique solution and then present their proposals to a boardroom. Through strong research and planning, innovative design, and a persuasive presentation, a team will hear the words, "You're Hired!"

You're Hired! can be an introduction to project or problem-based learning. There is no right answer to the problem presented within each of the You're Hired! modules. These problems are designed to engage students in the 4 C's (communication, collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking) and STEAM. With this event, the process is more important than the product, although the students delight in showcasing the product!

Participating students will engage in the following You're Hired! activities:

Company Role and Responsibility Development
CTE & Career Exploration
4 C's Study and Application
Company Name, Logo, & Slogan Development
Solution Research, Planning, Designing, Prototyping, Testing, and Evaluation
Presentation Planning and Delivery
Application and Execution Reflection

As a culminating activity, student teams will present their solutions to a "board room" of community members who will provide feedback regarding team solutions, presentation skills, and 4 C's applications.
