The "When I Grow Up" series features 13 math, science, and career exploration lessons and activities for middle schoolers. Pupils choose a profession based on their strengths and interests, then complete a handout that identifies their potential salary given a specific career. In another lesson, they have thirty seconds to develop an engaging commercial that showcases their talents and experience within a particular occupation. Other activities boost listening and observational skills with videos that spotlight various professions, while a Bingo game teaches learners about the value of networking. A great way to get tweens and teens thinking about their future.
