A portfolio of work is no longer just for the visual and fine arts. Many people in the STEM fields, especially those interested in technology, benefit from putting together a collection of their past work to demonstrate their strengths to a potential employer. A portfolio, which can be in the form of a personal website, includes examples of pieces that demonstrate your expertise in a variety of areas and works of which you are most proud. Here, we provide suggestions of a portfolio for someone in software development, but it can be adapted for anyone working in a majority of STEM fields.

For budding Scientistas, there are plenty of opportunities to explore the different areas of science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) during high school. While high school may not give you as much exposure to more specialized fields, it’s often a great place to get started. For example, taking Honors and AP courses in STEM subjects can often give you a better understanding of those subjects and could help you out in college by allowing you to receive credit for or place out of introductory courses. However, the best way by far to jumpstart a STEM career is through extracurricular activities. The five categories below cover most of the different subjects in STEM and encompass activities that are easily accessible to U.S. high school students. |
