Mustafa’s Answer

To become an innovative thinker and bring about change in STEM fields, you need to:

1) Learn logic by enrolling in relevant courses at school, online, or at a community college. Supplement your knowledge by studying philosophy and the history of science and mathematics. This will help you understand the key individuals and their contributions to inventions and discoveries in these fields.

2) Explore a wide range of mathematical, scientific, and engineering disciplines. Even just a basic understanding of various subjects can be beneficial.

3) Try to identify similarities between seemingly unrelated disciplines. For example, find commonalities between the cosmic structure of galaxy distribution and the structure of brain interconnections.

4) Strive to see how different disciplines work together in the world around you.

5) Incorporate logic and mathematics into your thought process, making it a fundamental part of how you perceive and analyze everything.

6) Lastly, the most effective way to master steps 2 to 5 is by spending time with professors who are actively involved in research and regularly publish in peer-reviewed scientific journals. Their experience and knowledge can guide you on your journey.

Vern’s Answer

Jobs and volunteer activities that will help with STEM classes and career would include anything that shows you are hardworking, capable of thinking on your own, and able to communicate effectively. When I hiring a new college graduate I look for unusual job experiences. Examples include: volunteering in a state or national park, engaging the public (tour guide), tutoring younger students, volunteering in a community garden, and staffing a booth at an environmental fair. Sometimes the best jobs can be things don't connect to STEM but show you are hungry, humble, and inquisitive. Examples include: cleaning out stalls and grooming at a horse stable; starting a shoveling snow or lawn mowing business even with just 3 or 4 customers; volunteering in a classroom with younger students, answering the phone for a mechanic, and working in a bike shop.

It is not so much what job you get as it is what you make of the job. Do you show up early, stay until the job is done, smile while while doing a dirty task, never complain, and ask questions.

STEM provides a broad range of job prospects. As you transition into high school, look for employment, projects, or volunteering roles that can help enhance your critical thinking, analytical abilities, and creativity. Tutoring is a good example of these types of jobs.
