Downes Elementary School to Host "What in the
World?"
Career Awareness Program
Downes Elementary School will host the Business,
Industry, Education (BIE) Alliance’s “What
in the World?” career awareness program for
their 5th grade students on Friday, January 15.
“What in the World?” is an interactive program
designed to introduce students in grades 3
 through
12 to a wide variety of careers in the math,
science and technology fields.
For more than a decade, “What in the World?”
program volunteers from the local business
community have gone into area schools, bringing
with them job-related “mystery objects” designed
to spark the students’ curiosity and inspire
them to learn more about the skills and
education necessary for success in these jobs.
Participation in “What in the World?” broadens
students’ horizons by exposing them to
unfamiliar occupations and motivates them to
explore career options in a whole new way.
Representatives from the following business
partners are among those who will be sharing
their time and expertise with the students at
Downes Elementary School:
