New ideas that one cluster or industry discovers can be interesting for those of another. Sometimes, the ideas that are imagined require the help of people from other career clusters, much like Aniyah’s community garden project.
In this activity, listen carefully to Stuart Oda explain the career he chose, what his focus is, and how the idea is working. Can you identify the career cluster that Mr. Oda belongs to? Can you identify his possible job? Perhaps do some research on what his career entails. What types of skills or talents make Mr. Oda successful at his job?
Then, see if you can think of a professional from the other two clusters we considered in this unit who would be interested in learning more about Mr. Oda’s project.
Need ideas for which careers might intersect with Mr. Oda? Check out the career clusters at blah blah blah to get a list of different career titles in that cluster. Once you have decided which professional would be interested in hearing Mr. Oda’s project, research a bit of information on that career. What is its focus? What types of tasks would this person be involved in?
Now that you have some examples of those who might be interested in Mr. Oda’s Ted Talk and the reasons why, you will create a brief advertisement that will be emailed to the professionals in each of the three clusters, inviting them to tune in to learn more. Your advertisement only needs to be a paragraph or so long. It must explain what Mr. Oda’s talk is about and why a professional like themselves might be interested in listening. Make sure you identify how the ideas in Mr. Oda’s talk could contribute to advances in their own field. Connect the skills or talents that Mr. Oda displays with those that the reader may possess.
Using a word processing document, create three advertisements geared towards the professionals from each career cluster: Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resources, Energy, and Health Science.
Please answer all the questions thank you!
