Project Details
The FunWorks
The FunWorks is a digital library of career exploration resources for youth ages 11 to 15. The FunWorks provides "real world" experiences and uses children's current interests and passions, such as music and sports, to help them explore exciting future careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). The site was designed for and by children—over 300 young people have participated in the design and launch of this one-of-a-kind collection from the initial concept to design, usability testing, and launch. The collection also serves as a resource for in-school and afterschool educators, career and guidance counselors, and parents and families.
