AUG 11, 2022 STEM YEA & CAMP NEIDIG
We were honored to be joined last week by 2 of our youth leadership students.
 
Isaiah Henry, a Broughal Middle School 8th grade student, was our very 1st to attend the inaugural year of STEM Youth Explorers Academy at Albright College. The highlights for him were the incredible simulation projects and meeting former NASA Astronaut Terry Hart.
 
Camilla Zelda, a Moravian Academy high school student, discovered her voice at Camp Neidig—a youth leadership camp. In her words, “I learned that being a leader doesn’t mean having power; it means to be communicative, a good listener, even for the quietest person in the room.”
