Have something to add?

Lesson plans, activity kits, and full classroom packets are part of what this hub is built to carry. If you have a unit that connects to regional careers, or a partner who would host a tour or send a speaker, the hub team will tag it and get it in front of the educators looking for it.

Send it to the hub team.

Everything that comes in is tagged across all five facets (audience, grade band, topic, career cluster, and resource type) so it is findable from every direction.
