STEM Workshops Instructor; UBC Geering Up Engineering Outreach
This co-op term, I have been going into elementary, middle and high schools to teach students about STEAM. Through this co-op, not only have I been able to learn so much about different topics in STEAM myself, but I’ve also been able to work on my confidence in public speaking. Being able to teach so many different age groups each day has been very rewarding and I find myself more comfortable in presenting each day as my knowledge on these topics grow.
To me, co-op is an amazing opportunity. To be able to gain work experience in fields relevant to my studies both provides insight into potential future jobs I may be interested in, as well as allowing me to improve my skills so that I can set myself apart from other candidates during job searches after graduation.
