I sat down with Canise, Dymond, and Danika at Walnut High School to hear their take on success, passion, and the future of work. No scripts, just 15 minutes of unvarnished student voice. Listen to Episode 1 of Learning Together at the link in the first comment.

πŸŽ‰ Celebrating National Engineers Week πŸŽ‰ We reached out to PLTW Transformative Partner @Phillips66Co and their Commercial and Business Development Senior Director Alex Sideris, who has 20 years of experience with the company, to learn more about his path to a career in chemical engineering. Among other insights, Alex shared about his experience with internships – β€œIt provided me with a view of what work and industry was actually like, and the guidance received from my bosses and counterparts back then shaped how I approached my work from then on.” Hear more from Alex in our blog post: bit.ly/4aGhjiR #EdChat #Careers #PLTW #STEMeducation #learning #STEM #NationalEngineersWeek
