Work in teams of 2–3 from the same year group to take on an exciting career challenge. Each team will randomly select a career from a lucky dip, meaning you could explore anything from a familiar profession to something completely unexpected. Your mission is to create a visually engaging presentation showing what the job is like day-to-day, the education pathways required, the skills needed, the pros and challenges, and what the future of the career may look like. Use creativity, teamwork, and research skills to bring your assigned career to life.
