I have great family and friends that email and text me when they hear cool news about STEM. I love this story, and it goes right along with the goal I have to spread the word about the significance and power of STEM initiatives.
On Saturday night, the new Miss Utah was crowned. So? Well, I will let the news article explain...
"Arnold, who recently graduated from the University of Utah with a degree in biochemistry, will represent Utah throughout the year and at the Miss America pageant in January 2013. She will also receive a $10,000 scholarship, serve as a representative of the Children's Miracle Network, and promote her personal platform, "Discover Your Potential — Step Up with STEM." STEM stands for science, technology, engineering and mathematics, and Arnold's platform focuses on encouraging women to explore opportunities in those fields."
How cool is that? I will have to see if she travels to Southern Idaho for school visits! Way to get the message out, Ms. Arnold! Oh, how I hope your talent was a science experiment!
