Which stands for Science Technology, Engineering and math.Kirsten is unique because she decided to go to university at 26 years old and she actually created her own degree in a sense. She discovered two things she is passionate about, science and communication and studied those two subjects creating her own felid in a sense.Today we talk about what Kirsten did before she was 26, how much travelling changed her life, how to get into STEM in non traditional ways, how to discover what to do with your life and immediate next steps to take and so much more.Find Kirsten: https://kirstenslemint.com/Byron's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/byron__dempsey/D.Y Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drivenyoungpodcast/Tik Tok: https://vm.tiktok.com/J8a8hS3/Support the show Hosted on Acast.

Om Podcasten

I started the Driven Young Podcast as a way to help educate and inspire the younger generation. There are plenty of amazing podcasts out there but I find very few tailors their content to those in high-school and uni. Even the ones that claim they do seem to go off track and fail to keep their message clear and simple for the younger generation to understand.I believe our world is changing so fast, the current education system can’t keep up and is left teaching us old and outdated skills no longer relevant in the workplace.This podcast explores what I believe should have been taught in school and aims to help people realise the world is different from when their parents grew up and we must make relevant decisions based on the world we live in currently not the world people used to live in
