About Me
My name is Kate Bray and I am a junior at Severna Park High School. I am a Girl Scout in Troop 4608 and, for my Gold Award project, I am hosting a STEM night for Girls. At Severna Park High School, I participate in Project Lead the Way which is a four-year pre-engineering program. Starting out freshman year in Principles of Engineering, the class consisted of about 50% girls. Now that I am in my third year of the program, the number of girls has dropped dramatically, and I am only one of three girls in my class. My goal of this event is to share my love of STEM subjects and inspire young girls to pursue and stick with STEM as they continue into college and their career.
