This year marks the first ever National STEM Festival in DC! Excited to see the federal government highlighting student-led solutions to critical global challenges. Love seeing tomorrow’s leaders innovating today!

I enjoyed meeting Isabella, a high school student from Cleveland, during her visit to DC as a student advisor for the National STEM Festival. I'm grateful that I was able to speak with her about the importance of increasing access to STEM education for all students.
