STEM Career Exploration

As Project LEAPES takes shape, STEM Career Exploration activities will be uploaded to our website. These experiences will be immersive opportunities that engage students with STEM, specifically in our 3 focus areas (Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, and Aerospace Engineering). We intend for every STEM Exploration Activity to be free and available to teachers for instruction, and to students for their own research.

Contact Ennis Rios at ennisrios@ksu.edu to be put on our Mailing List to receive updates when new Exploration activities become available.

Current Projects

Rural Student Spotlights

Our inaugural video series, the Rural Student Spotlight, will highlight current students at Kansas State University who come from rural Kansas communities talking about their degrees and career plans. The series is intended to give rural high school students considering K-State perspectives on how a degree from K-State can support their future plans.

 

Upcoming Projects

Industry Virtual Tours

Using a 360-degree camera and cutting-edge software, the REC will produce multiple virtual tours of our industry partners. While nothing can replicate visiting a business in-person and being able to ask all of the questions that come to mind, we hope that these tours can come close. Allowing students to virtually explore the ins-and-outs of a business and interacting with "hotspots" to gain additional information will increase student awareness and knowledge of STEM careers.
