Career Exploration Activity (CCS-515 Career Day 2018)

Please complete the Career Day Reflection Sheet for CSA Class!  This worksheet should be added to your Google Drive (File, Make a Copy).  SHARE it with Mr. S (hscribner@ccs.us) for credit.

Here is the link to the document:


During Career Day, please complete the following activity while you are in the Technology Lab:

Change the Equation, in partnership with E-Line Media, has created iON Future— a suite of free online learning games that encourage middle school to early high school-age youth to explore careers in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).  Unlike many efforts to get kids excited about STEM, these games connect directly to their passions, abilities, and sense of identity, exposing them to the breadth and variety of STEM-based professions and allowing them to explore the potential pathways to these interesting careers.


Today you will be completing a 10-15 minute activity about STEM Career Exploration.  You will create a log-in on IONFUTURE.ORG and spend time navigating through some of the activities on that website.  There are many more resources on this site than we can cover today, and you are welcome to spend more time on this site anytime in the future.  As usual, please share this site and the activities on it with someone at home as a follow-up assignment to today's activities.


Career Exploration Activity (10-15 minutes) Step-by-Step Directions

1. Go to http://ionfuture.org/ and click "Sign Up".

2. Enter a USERNAME (something appropriate that you can remember), and a PASSWORD you can remember.  We cannot recover your password!  Please DO NOT Forget It!  Enter the same password in the RETYPE PASSWORD box.

3.  Enter answers, in the drop-down selection lists, to the questions asked and click SUBMIT.

4.  Once you have logged into the site, please look under the heading PLAY GAMES, and choose "Stem Is Everywhere".  Follow the directions to play the game.  

5.  Click on the HOME link at the top, right of the screen.  READ ALL DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY!  Choose one of the "Passion" buttons that best describes a field you are interested in.  Click on the Skills, Education, and Salary buttons, Read the Directions, and choose the best answers.  

6.  Move the pointer (using the mouse) over the careers in the "MAYBE" box above.   You may click on any of these careers to learn more about them.  You could also learn more about the careers listed in the "BEST MATCH" box.

7.  If time allows, or on your own, click on one of the careers in the Stem Career Quest section.  This takes longer, but shows some of the skills and activities you might need to look for while pursuing any of the careers listed.  It is a great way to identify how some projects in school, or other learning, can lead to great careers.

8.  Choose one (1) of the careers that you saw described in the game.  Make sure you make note of the details of that career/job so you can answer the final question on your Career Day Response Sheet.

See the screenshot below for more details on this site.  I do not know what the points are good for, or why they total them.  If you find out, let me know!  Here is the link to the Learning Guide if you are interested in more information about this activity:
