Sally Ride Science/NSTA Web Seminars:

Igniting Students’ Interests in Science Careers

Two Web Seminars were presented featuring scientists and education specialists from Sally Ride Science. The seminars focused on the wide variety of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers available, the many paths to becoming a scientist, and the vibrant men and women involved in science today. The presenters demonstrated tools for encouraging students to think about their interests, future careers, and map out their short- and long-term goals. The presenters shared their science expertise, answered questions from the participants, and provided information regarding web sites that students can use in the classroom. These Web Seminars were designed for educators of grades 6–9.
