Xplore Program: Industry Exploration – High School
High school students get a first look at industries of interest by visiting workplaces and engaging with professionals.
"We got to dissect a lamb's heart and puncture a lamb's eyeball. It was just really gross but it was cool ... After high school and like 100 years of medical school and college, I would like to be a surgeon."
