Sorry for the truncated message. I would suggest checking out the Expanding
Your Horizons project, which has provided the framework for many career
days. The program focuses on encouraging girls to pursue science careers, but I
am sure the structure of their workshop will provide some useful ideas:

In projects I have been involved in, I have found that graduate students can
be very effective in serving as role models and also in providing very
practical answers to the rich variety of questions students have, ranging from why
are you studying science to what do you do every day.

One of our corporate funders has given money for us to do one this
school year as part of a science series. We will target a very broad age
range - elementary and middle school, and may even attract a few high
schoolers. We are planning science/STEM activities & demonstrations and
having a few scientists from the area on hand.
Has anyone out there put on a Science Career Day? What format did you
use? We are wondering if it is best to have the professionals do a short
talk, or be on hand at appropriate activity/demo tables to engage one on
one, or both.
Thanks, looking forward to learning from your experience.
