Students are interested in careers that involve a wide variety of activities but do not appear to relate these activities to STEM careers. Our results point to the importance of finding and expanding on ways to increase authentic learning opportunities in secondary school in Atlantic Canada such that students are better able to participate in collaboration, problem solving, and the application of scientific knowledge in their classes. Such learning opportunities would ensure that students have access to more information on the actual nature of work in the STEM field and what is required to pursue these careers. This strategy would also serve as a motivator to those who are not aware that STEM careers involve people skills, creativity, and problem solving.]]> 2023-09-15 17:51:36 UTC https://padlet.com/TiffanyRitter/womqa4arehs4fq1s/wish/2706261439 GIS https://padlet.com/TiffanyRitter/womqa4arehs4fq1s/wish/2706320150 How to get started if you only have little experience with GIS but want to improve?? asking for a friend haaha]]> 2023-09-15 18:47:37 UTC https://padlet.com/TiffanyRitter/womqa4arehs4fq1s/wish/2706320150
