Presenters will represent fields such as Forensic Chemistry, Robotics, Architecture, DNA Extraction, Sustainability/Going Green and Veterinary Medicine among others. The presenters will explain what they do in their occupation, share different tips on courses of study and ways to train for their profession, and provide hands-on exploration/activities.
