On
May 9 some Hoover Middle School seventh-grade girls had the opportunity to
attend the 6th Annual Building STEM Savvy in Middle School Girls Conference at Wayne
County Community College in Taylor.
The
purpose of this conference was to allow these students to explore horizons in
science, technology, engineering and math.

Brown, and Morgan Cikalo.
The
keynote speaker for the event, Dr. Susan White, is the refuge administrator of
the Detroit River International Wildlife Refuge in Gibraltar for the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service. She spoke about her career working with diverse partners
to protect iconic natural resources across the country as well as the Caribbean
and remote Pacific islands.
Workshops
focused on various STEM related careers including mechanical engineering, data
analytics, and biomedical engineering. The closing speaker of the day was Dr.
Marlo Rencher. She spoke with the students about her experience in startup and
small business development agencies; and urged the girls to think broadly and
inclusively about whose lives they can impact and how they can create that
impact.
