The authors of this book's 16 chapters provide examples and inspiration to spark students' interest in careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Some chapters showcase career-awareness programs. Others talk about pipeline-building projects that start as early as elementary school or that expose older students to careers via externships or service learning. The ideas and experiences described in the book will encourage you to change the future of your students, and possibly even the world.

'Success with STEM' is packed with advice and ideas to support and enthuse all those involved in the planning and delivery of STEM in the secondary school. It offers guidance on current issues and priority areas to help you make informed judgements about your own practice and argue for further support for your subject in school.

Many jobs of the future will involve science, technology, engineering, and math, but how can we expect our students to go into careers as mechanical engineers, environmental scientists, or computer programmers when they've never met the people who have these jobs? Students might not even realize that they have career options in STEM fields. Introduce your students to the numerous STEM careers available by connecting them to actual STEM professionals who can act as role models and career mentors, showing students how their school work applies to the world and their future job opportunities.
