Daisy STEM Career Exploration - GSOC Inspire

Without Printing

To complete the Daisy STEM Career Exploration Badge, complete the following steps:

Materials Required: cardstock, white paper, crayons/markers

What She Does: Watch the Daisy Planet, World, or Story video on the GSOC Inspire site. Ask your Girl Scouts what careers they are interested in learning about to help make your choice on what path to take.

Optional: You are more than welcome to watch more than one!

Learn About a STEM Career: Watch at least 1 video about a specific career woman. Choose a woman to explore in depth from your video, or check out the Career Women Library.

Ask Daisies, “how can you turn what you like today into a career in the future?”. Explain that Daisies are going to create a vision frame that reflects their interests and how they can become a part of the Daisies future careers.
Create a “frame” with cardstock or paper so they can draw their ideas.
Guide Daisies to draw pictures of things they enjoy and draw themselves in the future on it. Tell them “it is like a magical window into the future! What do you want to be doing, what do you want to have that you like right now?”. Ask questions such as, “What is your job? What are you doing? How are you dressed? Are you using a tool, like a ruler, computer, or a hammer?”.
If Daisies are unsure about their future, it's okay! Encourage them to draw a picture as they see themselves, surrounded by their favorite things in the frame.
When everyone is done, invite Daisies to share some of their favorite things on their frame or their vision for the future. Ask questions to encourage discussion, such as “what are some things you like most? How do you use STEM?”.

Ask your Daisies if they learned something new today. Did they learn about a new career? Did they learn what their friend wants to be when they grow up?
Thank Daisies for participating in the activity with you. They have a long way from picking their career, but it is never too early to learn and try new things!
