Sixth Grade now added to May, 19 at Century College!
Success Beyond the Classroom's STEMLink gives fifth and sixth grade students an introduction to careers in science, technology, engineering and math with hands-on sessions led by professionals (college instructors and others) in STEM fields. The STEMLink career focus helps students understand how the science and math they study at school can lead to a life’s work that is stimulating, challenging and meaningful.

During their day of attendance, students hear a keynote by a scientist and/or STEM professional and take part in three interactive breakout sessions in a college setting. Students are placed in teams comprised of students from different schools and districts. Teams are then escorted to classrooms by volunteers.
