Build a Career Fair Experience

Research one career, design for a visitor, and explain what you found.

Topic: Career research for a public audience
Objective: Investigate one career and turn current evidence into a website, booth system, and live explanation.
Demonstration of learning: A visitor leaves your booth able to explain what the career does, how someone enters it, and one reason it may or may not fit them.

The visitor is the point

You are building for someone who does not know this career yet. Every fact, image, headline, and spoken explanation should help that visitor decide whether the career is worth a closer look.

1 · Choose

Shortlist three careers and commit to one. 10 points.

2 · Research

Collect current evidence and record where it came from. 10 points.

3 · Explain

Build one public information page. 10 points.

4 · Invite

Create a booth poster and matching handout. 10 points.

5 · Present

Run the booth, pitch, answer questions, and visit other booths. 60 points.
Keep one career across all five steps: The research you collect in Step 2 becomes the site in Step 3, the booth in Step 4, and the answers you give in Step 5.

What quality looks like

  • The research describes real tasks, work setting, training, pay, outlook, and one honest challenge.
  • Every public fact can be traced to a source.
  • The site, poster, and handout share a clear visual system.
  • The pitch sounds practiced but not memorized word for word.
  • When you do not know an answer, you name where you would look instead of guessing.
