EARLY MOMENTUM TOWARD FLIGHT PATH 2030
Nine Wingers will board Amtrak for Milwaukee School of Engineering this summer where they will attend academic camps that delve into STEM careers.
Sterling Gadient, Clare Guse, Beatrix Lahammer, Gavin Plath, Alyssa Rice, Bentley Ricks, Piper Ryan, Marek Sparby and Kamari Williams will each spend an all-expenses paid week at MSOE. The camps include Explore, Women in Technology, Focus on Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering, Focus on Computer Engineering and Focus on Electrical Engineering.
Dwight Diercks, a Red Wing High School and Milwaukee School of Engineering graduate, and his wife Dian, are providing the scholarships. The camps are part of their long-term commitment to help transform his hometown district into a center of excellence in computer science, data science, and artificial intelligence.
Students in their applications had to outline career goals and describe how their preferred camp fits into future plans. Diercks reviewed the applications and awarded the scholarships, creating a connection between the high school and the college he views as instrumental to his successful career with Nvidia.
The Flight Path 2030 initiative began in August 2025. That pledge came on the heels of a major donation that has made MSOE an AI education leader.
