Math career path for middle school students. A path has a start, a direction and a destination. The assessment gives the direction, the career pages the destination, and the STEM Farm track the start at zero. Math careers — actuary, statistician, mathematician, operations research — reward deep comfort with numbers, abstract structure, and the discipline to be exactly right. Middle school is when interest in STEM is decided, usually by whether the subject ever got connected to a person a student could become.

Does it cost anything?
No. The full assessment is open at tienesesto.org/stem-assessment, and every result links to a STEM Farm track that starts from zero.
