Amy Nakamoto, Executive Vice President of Social Impact at Discovery Education, shares about how Career Connect, the latest Discovery Education product, aims to transform how students explore careers.

“I was able to take part in a Career Connect opportunity with my 6th grade Coding and Computer Science class. Connecting with a professional in the field through a Zoom session has offered valuable insights into the daily challenges and rewards of a coding career, helping my students to bridge the gap between theory and practice. This interaction has not only broadened their understanding of the industry but has also inspired them by showcasing diverse career paths and success stories of individuals.”
