Session description

This session chronicles the growth of a BioMed Tech career pathway from the spark of an idea to a flourishing model for STEM pathway development. You'll learn how to create a sustainable model for empowered teacher leaders to craft learning experiences for meaningful career exploration and skills development.

Purpose & objective

OVHS BioMed Tech lab and the STEM in the Valley pathways offer meaningful K-12 career explorations with technology on the cutting edge of industry. Presenters will peel back the cover on the culture of empowered educator leadership, partnership with the community education foundation and thoughtful curation of learning experiences to define the process for strategic development of locally relevant pathways.
