Once each academic year, BioDECIDE hosts a Biomedical Career Fair at the Museum. All Upward Bound participants and their families, as well as students from other high schools and the general public are invited to attend. In preparation for the fair, students complete a personal inventory to assess their own talents, areas of interest and preferred working environment. Students have the opportunity to meet with representatives of local colleges as well as meet individuals who are engaged in interesting work in biomedicine. Students have a chance to conduct one-on-one interviews with professionals in the field, collecting information about the educational qualifications, workplace environment, responsibilities, and opportunities for advancement associated with specific professions.
Nano Technology Career Fair
On Saturday, May 3, 2008, over 100 students from three of the Museum's youth programs (Museum Studies Academy at North Miami Senior High School, Upward Bound, and RISE) gathered at the Museum for Nano Career Day. The overall goal of the event was to expose and prepare students to consider various science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) careers.
