Why Career Exploration Works Better When It Starts Earlier

Career exploration works best when it is treated not as a decision point, but as a developmental process that begins earlier and builds over time. Hands-on engineering is often discussed as a goal, but not always as a practical option.

This is where easily implemented, well-designed engineering projects play an important role.
