A Teen Study Break is an approximately 20-minute virtual conversation with a Museum or science or industry professional to discover how they started their career. Each Teen Study Break starts with five basic questions, but the speakers’ answers often delve into the unexpected! If time allows at the end, speakers will take questions.
