Uploading An Artifact to Smart Futures
Throughout high school, you will do more career preparation than just what is done through Smart Futures. This will generally yield an artifact. An artifact is something that proves you completed some sort of growth, and includes some sort of reflection about the experience. Artifacts are not considered complete unless written reflection is completed as well! On Smart Futures, artifacts can be uploaded in the following categories:
Career-Pathway Experiences (Career Fair, College Fair, Campus Visit, Job Shadow, etc.)
Career Acquisition Documents (Résumé, Letter of Recommendation, etc.)
Future Ready Skills
Uploaded Artifacts (unrelated to any above category)
Art & Media (School Projects, Hobbies, etc.)
Honors and Awards (Academic or otherwise)
Test Score (PSAT, SAT, Keystone, etc.)
Extracurricular (Athletics, Clubs, etc.)
