In-person programs

Explore by doing.

Free, hands-on career discovery for students in grades 5 through 7. No pressure to choose. Just room to try.

The idea

Career discovery should feel real.

Students learn by making, speaking, solving, and asking questions. Each activity helps them notice what they enjoy and what comes naturally.

We use Ikigai as a simple guide: what you enjoy, what you are good at, what people need, and where those pieces might lead.

Program formats

A focused start during a school break. Students try activities, meet a speaker, reflect, and leave knowing what they want to explore next.

Five in-person classes, a working professional, and a field trip. Students go deeper without turning exploration into another test.

We work with counselors, teachers, and community groups to bring a program to the students they already serve.

What students practice

Interests, strengths, confidence, reflection, and career families.

Coding, design, finance, interviews, public speaking, and teamwork.

Guest speakers show what jobs actually look and feel like day to day.

Guest speakers

Hospitality

A Cornell Hotel School graduate who showed students the careers behind a guest experience.

Computer science

A biomedical researcher who connected hardware, software, science, and medicine.

Music production

A student producer who made the creative and technical sides of music feel reachable.

Inside a session

Students can ask what the work is really like, what surprised the speaker, and what they wish they knew earlier.

“I learned that a career is not one big decision. It starts with noticing what you like.”
