FutureShock! Career Exploration Through Interest Projects
Description:
FutureShock is a 10-day immersive program empowering high school students to explore career paths through hands-on projects. It focuses on skills like self-direction, reflection, and project development, and blends game-based learning, AI tech, and expert facilitation. The goal is to connect participants' unique strengths and interests with future opportunities they are excited to pursue. During this session, we'll engage participants in a series of exercises used in FutureShock! to launch their own interest-based projects.
