The sky's the limit!
In Mrs. McMullen's STEM classroom at Singing Hills Elementary, students have been listening to guest speakers talk about careers in the STEM field.
One of the guest speakers was Ed Ryan who started off his career working as a machinist in a small shop. Later he worked on the Hubble Space Telescope as the project coordinator. He spent 32 years working for Lockheed Martin and talked to the students about how important it is to demonstrate hard work and dedication in a career.
Arthur Scott is a retired aerospace engineer and was the chief engineer on early space shuttle launches and landings on a variety of other space projects. He spent 35 years working as a mechanical engineer and worked for NASA, Martin Marietta and Lockheed Martin just to name a few. He asked the students what they wanted to be when they grow up and also showed the group a picture of himself as a student, explaining that when he was their age he had no idea what he wanted to do, but pointed out that he developed an early passion for math and science.
Peter Goupee is in the principal data engineer at Starz. He has over 25 years of experience designing and building scalable applications and data solutions. His expertise spans cloud infastructure, workflow automation and modern data pipeline development. Goupee likes to solve complex problems and collaborating with teams to deliver impactful solutions.
A special thank you to all of the guest speakers from Mrs. McMullen's class for inspiring our young students with STEM careers!
