Mount Elementary School's Career Laboratory
The Career Laboratory was the brainchild of Dr. Pamela Hurst-DellaPietra of Setauket, New York, in 2007 whose son was a fourth-grader at the school. She was asked by Principal Nathalie Lilavois to produce a career day. Ms. Lilavois wanted the children to experience something more than just a lecture by visiting professionals describing their careers with "I do this and I do that." Pam also remembered attending job fairs throughout her life where she would collect brochures yet still have only cursory feel for the professionals she just met. They agreed that a hands-on, interactive venue would make the workshops interesting and exciting for the children.
