STEM Everywhere

Sometimes it is difficult to see how science is all around us. Basic fields apply to areas of life you might not have ever imagined. You will watch a video which chronicled a day with students from L.A.'s Promise Manual Arts High School at a biohackathon.

Prelistening Discussion Questions:

  1. Where in everyday life have you encountered STEM?
  2. What careers have you considered in the STEM disciplines?
  3. Are there any STEM Health Science careers that interest you?
  4. Do you want to work in healthcare? Why or why not?
