This summer, Harley Thomas from Walterboro, South Carolina will join outstanding students from across the nation to take part in a unique academic and career oriented development experience, National Youth Leadership Forum: Pathways to STEM at Campbell University in Raleigh, North Carolina.
The National Youth Leadership Forum: Pathways to STEM is one of the Envision by WorldStrides family of programs (www.envisionexperience.com) that enable students to explore their interests and experience learning beyond the classroom.
Harley is 9 years old and in third grade at Northside Elementary. She was nominated for this program by her teacher, Mrs. Jessica Reeves. She loves reading, drawing, and has been on the superintendent’s list since the first grade at Northside Elementary. Harley is excited about attending the Pathways to STEM program in the summer to learn new things about science, technology, engineering and mathematics, as well as making new friends!
“I am excited for Harley Thomas to meet, work, and collaborate with fellow high-aspiring students from other cities and schools,” said Dr. Jan Sikorsky, Vice President, Education for Envision. The National Youth Leadership Forum: Pathways to STEM is a wonderful opportunity for ambitious young students to explore their interests outside the classroom and discover how to innovate and think creatively through hands-on immersive learning. Our students are challenged with real-world simulations and problems, working together to develop unique solutions and projects to bring life to their studies and career interests.”
