MOCK JOB & INFORMATIONAL INTERVIEWS

“Teachers and career counselors have worked with the students on an amazing array of skills that will help enhance their chances of being hired. Maintaining good eye contact, and presenting with a firm handshake open the ‘mock’ interview. Most of the young men wore ties, and the young ladies were dressed for success.”

Balloon Fest is a Regional Interscholastic STEM Event

Teachers and teams of 3 to 6 students are invited to launch helium-filled, tethered balloons with student-designed instrumentation in order to measure different characteristics of our atmosphere, or to test alternative engineering designs.

After weeks of preparation, at an exciting all-day event, students will gather data, analyze it, and present their findings to peers, parents, and professionals.

Enthusiastic adult mentors, judges, and event volunteers provide encouragement and active support for these student teams.

Levels of Participation

Level 1 Introductory Designed for first time experimenters, ES or MS

Level 2 Intermediate Designed for high school STEM students Advanced Only for experienced experimenters and special projects
