🎴 STEM Paths Card Sort

Content Expertise Critical Thinking & Problem Solving 9-12.AF.1.2 HS-ETS1-2 HS-ETS1-1 HS-ETS1-3 HS-ETS1-3 Submission Required

Students use STEM career trading cards featuring roles from science, technology, engineering, math, healthcare, manufacturing, and HVAC to sort careers by daily tasks, skills, school subjects, and likely design problems solved. Teams then play a brief pathway scenario round in which they match interests, course choices, and opportunities to possible careers. The class closes by naming assumptions they made and posting at least one question they now have about what STEM professionals actually do.
