The Stem Symposim took place over the summer for one week long with six sister schools in six countries, Argentina, Japan, Peru, Taiwan, UK. I collaborated and build sisterhood with the participating students, and even got to take part in events such as Philly Mural Arts tour. We participated in problem-solving based courses that creatively address global issues using STEM concepts and skills. I enrolled in, Global Health Issues, and, Design A Wish courses. Dr. Mae Jemison, the first African American woman in space and founder and president of the Jemison Group and BioSentient Corp was the keynote speaker for the symposium. It was so amazing to end such an eye-opening week with Dr. Jemision, leaving us feel empowered and inspired to challenge ourselves.
