Reaction in Action Testimony
Every year for SPARK STEM DAY my peers and I were excited to learn our school was selected to attend. We learned so much about STEM careers, participated in STEM games for prizes, and a few of my friends gained a mentor from the pool of Women in Engineering from the career panel workshop. I am very thankful for the opportunity to learn more about STEM careers and for the companies and professionals in STEM fields who took the time to educate high school students who may not have a person at home to teach them about the career paths available to them. – KAYLA
