*Seeking Volunteers to Speak at Hopkinton High School*
Brianna Sheard, a Junior at Hopkinton High School, is organizing an
event at her school to teach girls about careers in the STEM fields. She
wants to get her peers to start thinking about what they want to do and
wants to introduce STEM careers as an option to consider. Therefore, she
is looking for young professionals interested in speaking at her school
about their careers, interests, schooling and maybe even demonstrate or
show pictures of the technology they work with. If you are interested,
please contact her at bsheard at hillers.org <mailto:bsheard at hillers.org>.
