John Burnham to take Part in Envision’s National Youth Leadership Forum: Pathways to STEM
WINTHROP– This summer, John Burnham from Winthrop, Maine will join outstanding students from across the nation to participate in a unique academic and career-oriented development experience, National Youth Leadership Forum: Pathways to STEM held this summer at Bentley University in Boston, Massachusetts.
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.
John was nominated for the forum by his 3rd-grade teacher, Ms. Bourassa, of Winthrop Grade School. Since the age of 2, John has been interested in science and engineering. Those interests have grown immensely every year, and his teachers notice. John hopes to one day be a paleontologist. He is most excited about the engineering portion of the forum he will be attending this summer.
“I am excited for John to meet, work, and collaborate with fellow high-aspiring students from other cities and schools,” said Dr. Jan Sikorsky, Vice President, Education for Envision. “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.”
For over 35 years, Envision by WorldStrides has empowered extraordinary students to become their best selves through programs that enable them to discover their passion, explore a career, and positively impact their world. In 2018, Envision became part of the WorldStrides family.
