Over 100 high school students participating in hands-on biotechnology and neuroscience activities.
NeuroMaker, a developer of innovative biotechnology and neuroscience STEM classroom kits and curricula for middle and high school students, will be leading activities at the 11th Annual STEM Career Exploration Event held at Bridgewater State University on March 16th, 2022.
The event is hosted by MassHire Greater Brockton Workforce Board (GBWB), the Center for the Advancement of STEM Education (CASE) at Bridgewater State University and the Metro South Chamber of Commerce. The event will offer students an opportunity to discover career opportunities in Massachusetts that they might not otherwise be exposed to.
“NeuroMaker is based right here in Boston, so participating was a no–brainer,” said Wendi Glaser, Director of Sales for NeuroMaker. “Our platform was designed to be inclusive to students from all backgrounds and situations and we love the opportunity to show our products to young people as they are just beginning to think about their future lives.”
“Career awareness is so important for students. When they can see themselves in STEM, great things happen. Through this partnership, we are able to highlight the innovation in the greater Boston area and make it accessible to students in the Southeast communities,” said Joshua Varela, Associate Director of Strategic Partnerships.
“Our mission is to connect local businesses with local job-seekers,” says David Edwards, Connecting Activities Coordinator at MassHire GBWB. “Through initiatives like our Connecting Activities program, we’re making those connections real and tangible.”
Connecting Activities is a collaboration between the Commonwealth’s education Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) and workforce (MassHire) development systems, designed to promote career exploration, career readiness activities and generate employer-paid work experiences for high school students.
The event begins at 9am and will be held in the Large Ballroom of the Rondileau Student Union at Bridgewater State University.
