“STEM: A Hands-On Approach”, a 2-part virtual workshop for Youth Ages 13 to 21

The Colorado Center for the Blind presents “STEM: A Hands-On Approach”, a 2-part virtual workshop to be held on the dates of June 23 & 25 from 2:00 – 3:30 pm MDT.

The goal of STEM: A Hands-On Approach is to provide students an opportunity to participate in hands-on STEM focused experiences that will allow them to explore and assess their interest in these fields. These activities can help students identify new career options and potentially reinforce a student’s interest in pursuing a career in a STEM field.

Items that will be addressed during this 2-part workshop include but are not limited to:

• What is STEM?
• What types of jobs/occupations fall under STEM fields?
• How can I assess my interest in STEM?
• How accessible are STEM courses in college?
• A blind Chemistry major at the Metropolitan State University of Denver will share her experiences and will lead an activity for all to participate in.
• Students will hear from a member of the Science and Engineering Division of the National Federation of the Blind.

Pre-registration is required.
