I ran across this article the other day about Benedictine Academy (NJ) in which students from the junior class were able to learn outside of the classroom - basically by shadowing local professionals.

“(from the article) The purpose of Bee Week is to provide a professional work site or experience that will motivate students to see the importance of their academic studies in relationship to future success in the workplace,”

— Benedictine Principal, Kenneth Jennings

This reminds me of the my local school district's Chelsea Center that does a similar program and more.

Do your local schools do anything similar? Have you participated? It would be pretty cool if your outreach inspired a student, and we'd love to hear about it!
