Before SoSTEM started, I interviewed Charles Bolden. He was an astronaut(宇航员) and has been to space four times. “I enjoy watching young people take their ideas and turn them into reality,” he said.
Next I spoke to Dr. Ellen Stofan. She spoke about her lifelong interest in science. “When I was in the middle school, I knew I wanted to be a scientist, but I wasn’t sure what kind,” she told me. As she grew up, she became interested in space. Her advice to young people who want to became a scientist is to “follow your dreams”.
My third interview was with Megan Smith. She talked about encouraging more girls to step into STEM fields. She told me that women have always been part of amazing scientific discoveries, even though sometimes history records have left women out.
Finally, I interviewed Kathy Pham, who is working to improve health care for more Americans through IT services. I asked her advice for young people who want a career(职业) in computer science. She advised kids to join in groups working on science and technology and to read more books on the subject.
After the intervieww, we had a free talk. When I asked which technology careers were going to be most in need in the next 10 years, Dr. Stofan noted that careers having something to do with energy sources(能源) are certainly going to be needed.
My biggest take-away from the event was that the future holds many wonderful chances for people interested in STEM. Just as the computer scientist Kathy Pham said:”Whatever your love is –whether it’s clothing, space or cars—today you can find a STEM field where you can do something you like.”
