Groups of students will research current jobs and how they may evolve in the future. They will create a new job and write a 5-page composition defining it. Students will then create an oral presentation as a group to present their new job idea to community leaders. The project aims to have students think creatively about how technology could change future jobs and demonstrate their presentation, research, and collaboration skills.
