Exploration is just as important for high school students as it is for younger kids. Teenagers are beginning to solidify their career aspirations and are figuring out their strengths and preferences. Carnegie Science Center has created robust programs for older students to guide them through more complicated concepts in a fun, easy-to-understand way.
