Inspiring the next generation of STEM leaders
The National Youth Science Foundation wrapped up its 55th annual National Youth Science Camp in Pocahontas County at the end of July.
Aimed at inspiring the next generation of STEM leaders, more than 100 students from every state and from nations around the world enjoyed this reknowned science education camp.
Attending academically challenged lectures and experiencing hands-on learning, while participating in outdoor adventures and activities, aspiring young scientists also heard from Marshall University President Jerome A. Gilbert.
His talk, “Biomedical Engineering: Are We Redefining What It Means to Be Human?," excited the students to think more critically and creatively.
As a high school senior in 1973, Gilbert first visited West Virginia as one of two delegates to the camp from Mississippi. "The National Youth Science Camp brought me the first time to the Mountain State and Marshall University gave me the opportunity to return," noted Gilbert.
