Part 4: The outcomes
Students gather all the information and prepare a presentation of the project images, power
point, poster, collage, real interviews of the professionals). Then, this presentation or rel-
evant material will be uploaded to the Curious Mind Web portal and could be the main infor-
mation material for some professions.

The closest analogy to this activity is the SWOT analysis developed for use in business,
Electrical survey ¾ electrical engineer¾ concentration, sharpness

Part 3: Children gather all the information given in the classroom and continue to search and
find extra material.
Sources for extra material can be the Curious Minds web repository of “images” of science,
including rich resources (e.g. systematically prepared and presented profiles of ordinary
scientists (in video format) in different fields and other relevant to science careers materials,
interviews with scientists, career games focusing on science and technology, archives
presenting moments of the life of important scientists). Videos, presentations as well as real
time on-line discussions will be implemented to support the realisation of this virtual dialogue
between children and professional. Internships and apprenticeships are valuable because they
allow students to learn new skills and investigate potential career interests. Other useful links
