Help high school students learn more about STEM and STEM adjacent careers by being a career panelist!
On Wednesday March 11, 2026, ~100 students from Oakland, Richmond and Pinole will be visiting the LBL hill site as part of our monthly High School STEM Day program. We are looking for staff from different Areas and professions to meet students and talk a bit about their career trajectory, as part of a career panel. Details below:
HS STEM Day career panel:
There will be THREE, 45 minute panels for March 11th
There are 2-3 Panelists per session
Each panelist will prepare a ~5-7 minute introduction going over:

A Q&A will follow the intros where students will be encouraged to ask questions to each panelists.
More information on High School STEM Days-----------
High School STEM Days are a once-a-month event for local public high school students to visit the Lab.This event will be a chance for students and school representatives to have an opportunity to tour Berkeley Lab, network with Lab employees, and participate in job shadowing. The main goal of this event is to share what life in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) and STEM-adjacent professions are like and learn more about summer programs and high school internships for students at Berkeley Lab.
