Then a sixth module drafts your mission, vision and values in your own words. Progress saves as you go; it is free and complete today.

Technology career path for 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. Technology careers run on persistence through hours of troubleshooting, abstract thinking about invisible systems, and adaptability to tools that change every year. Students choose classes, majors and programs years before they meet the daily work of a career; this shows the ordinary day first.
