Virtual Exploration provides students in grades 6-10 the chance to interact virtually with professionals through the Chat and Challenge Programs. Chat offers 45-minute talks about an industry professional’s career, company and industry. These conversations are also recorded to share with as many students as possible.
Through the Challenge program, companies may challenge students by describing a real-world industry challenge, such as creating a marketing plan for a new product or service, and asking students to problem-solve and come up with solutions. Individual students or teams of students submit their solutions by the semester’s deadline and companies will determine the winners.
Yes! Virtual Exploration is new in 2019-20 and is being offered in any and all schools with grades 6-10.
