Career Ready PA
Backpack Challenge

Career Ready PA is excited to provide a seamless opportunity for students to obtain

artifacts for their career portfolio by participating in Remake Learning Days events
tagged with a “backpack.”
The Remake Learning Days festival takes place across Pennsylvania between
May 12-23, 2022. A variety of organizations showcase host free events for all age
groups and provide hands-on learning opportunities. Participating organizations
include libraries, schools, tech centers, museums, play spaces, community centers
and more.
Did you know that 91% of STEM jobs in Pennsylvania will require some form of
a postsecondary credential? Participating in hands-on learning is one way to learn
STEM and employability skills. The STEM career tree has many branches, and you
may explore one at the Remake Learning Days festival.
Did you ever think that creating an invention, learning to code, or planting
a garden builds employability skills? Activities like learning how to fly a drone,
marketing a product, and helping your community is a foundation to your future
career pathway!
Events listed under Career Ready PA qualify for the Career Ready PA Backpack
Challenge. Students who participate will earn a Career Ready PA Backpack
Challenge badge. Career Ready PA will also award a banner to schools with up to
100 artifacts.
When students finish the event, they will need to complete the artifact survey
on the Career Ready PA Backpack Challenge page. This survey will be shared with
your school so you can earn your badge and get career portfolio credit for the
Backpack Challenge!

All of the events in this brochure qualify

for the Backpack Challenge.

Learning Themes
To help navigate all the events, below are helpful learning themes. Please note that
some events may feature a primary theme and several secondary themes.

What is STEAM? STEAM stands for science, technology,

engineering, arts, and mathematics. Learning these subjects WHAT IS
together (rather than independently) helps students encourages STEAM?
creativity, critical thinking and collaboration.

ARTS is hands-on learning and expression through all kinds of

art: theatre, dance, visual art, music, photography, and more!

MAKER “Making” is about taking things apart and putting

it back together. Tinker, build, and create with all kinds of
materials. Try a 3D printer, take apart a toy to see what’s inside
and then rebuild it, or create a marshmallow tower!

OUTDOOR LEARNING is about experiencing and

learning about the natural world. How can we think about the
environment, sustainability, and more by exploring our very
own backyards?

SCIENCE is all about experimentation! Kids and adults can

explore chemistry, biology, geography and more. How does
our world work? What can we test and explore in the world
around us?

TECHNOLOGY gives kids the chance to explore their digital

world. Want to try coding? Build robots? Learn circuitry? Look
for technology events that help you discover new things.

YOUTH VOICE is about youth leadership and amplifying

youth voice. Youth have the ability to express themselves in so
many ways such as: through audio, video, art, music, and more.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
For traditional and non-traditional educators, various
organizations offer credited and non-credited professional
development featuring STEAM-inspired learning.

RemakeLearningDays.org/pa-south-central

Across America!

Remake Learning Days is taking root across 17 regions

in 2022! The growth of Remake Learning Days Across
America is in response to a desire for more real-world
learning experiences that prepare youth from all
backgrounds and all neighborhoods for our rapidly changing world From April to
May, there will be 1300+ events held in spaces such as parks, libraries, STEM labs,
maker-spaces, museums, tech companies, laundromats and more.

With the majority of events being virtual experiences, families can participate
in learning happening anywhere! We hope to create a genuine movement of
educators, parents, and students and ignite a national conversation around the
future of learning and increase the demand for engaging and equitable hands-on
experiences across all the spaces kids learn.
