Counselors

View all blog posts with the “counselor” tag in them.

As a counselor, it is your job to direct students interested in STEM to the correct places. There are many resources that you can use to encourage students who are interested in STEM down the right path.

Programs To Encourage Students To Participate In

There are a range of programs that you can direct students to for them to learn more about STEM. If they are interested in STEM, direct them to one of these programs. If these programs don’t exist at your school, talk to some teachers and get a program going. Students might be scared to try and start a program with a teacher, but they might be more willing to join one if it already exists.
