WHAT TO DO/ASK
Guests may have program prepared to bring with them -this could be free or paid
Try to be ACTIVITY based - girls respond best to learning by doing/hands on learning, NOT sitting still and listening for long periods of time
Can tie to badge work - or can just be for fun/to learn... and can still be tied in to GSLE!
Send questions ahead so the guest can prepare some thoughts, but here are some sample questions to ask: What is a typical day in the life
What characteristics does it take to be successful
What training or education, or certification process, is required
What qualifications are required
Male or female dominated field/role?
Is there a difference or gap in men and women in the same role?
What are their favorite parts of their role?
What is the biggest challenge they've had to overcome in their role?
Interesting thing that has happened to them/a good story!
Let girls ask questions
