Valley Metro Takes STEM Mentoring Program for Underrepresented Students to YouTube
Repost from azcentral.com
Engineering didn’t always seem interesting to Ariadne Payan, a 14-year-old student in the Roosevelt Elementary School District. Her dream career is to become a surgeon, but she wasn’t familiar with what the engineering field entailed. Payan was part of one of the first cohorts of Valley Metro’s Engineers of the Future program, which introduces students in underrepresented communities to engineering through hands-on activities and mentorship by engineers of color.
