Career Development and Exploration for Teens

As fewer young people opt for careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), the National Science Foundation has funded EDC to develop a resource designed to engage young people in career exploration and development.

Young people who visit the Fun Works Web site can explore ways that their favorite activities might translate into STEM careers. Designed for middle-school students, particularly those who are underrepresented in STEM education and careers—girls, minorities, and students with disabilities—the site features sports, games, music, and art sections.
