STEM fields path for teens. 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. Eight STEM fields, eight trait signatures. The assessment scores you on all fifteen traits and shows which fields are already yours before you commit to a major or a program. Teens carry a working profile that is already visible in how they handle pressure, ambiguity, detail and people; the assessment reads it.
