Organization/program: Visions of Science
What does being part of this organization or program mean to you?
Being part of this organization means a lot to me because it has been a constant presence in my life since I was a kid. I’ve grown alongside Visions of Science, learning, exploring, and building confidence through its programs over the years. Now, being able to give back in my role as a program facilitator feels incredibly meaningful. It’s rewarding to support younger students the same way I was supported and to help create a welcoming space where youth can feel excited and confident about STEM.
What part of attending the 2026 Youth Summit and Expo are you most excited about?
I’m most excited about attending the 2026 Youth Summit because of the opportunity to meet other like-minded individuals who are passionate about STEM, leadership, and community impact. Connecting with peers from different backgrounds, sharing ideas, and learning from one another is something I really value, and I’m looking forward to building meaningful connections that extend beyond the Summit.
What excites you about STEM?
