Abstract

[Introduction] I am very passionate about inspiring a new generation of the STEM workforce. Going through the engineering pathway myself since 9th grade, I have seen the value of technical education and early career choice. In high school, I learned so much about math and science, but also about the technical and applied aspects of STEM professions. I had one apprenticeship in electrical power and aluminum mill companies where I explored how the concepts from the classes convey to the real world. It was so much easier to learn all the equations and different aspects of technology from the textbook and my teachers after hands-on experience and real life industry exposure. Because of this, our project tries to create a bridge between industrial needs and high school technical education. We want to make sure students are receiving appropriate instruction that really matches the needs of the industry, so our collaborations span from high school to the industrial setting and from high school to the academic setting. We want to help high school students understand all of the different pathways and opportunities they have in the area of cybersecurity after high school graduation.
