At DME Academy, several female students recently had the opportunity to attend the Women in Science Embry-Riddle (WiSER) outreach program hosted by Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.
The WiSER program is designed to introduce female high school students to potential careers in science. Through this program, students were able to step outside of the classroom and experience science in a more interactive and engaging environment.
Throughout the event, students participated in a variety of hands-on activities across the Daytona Beach community that were designed to spark curiosity and deepen their interest in science. These activities allowed students to explore real-world scientific concepts, conduct experiments, and see how different scientific disciplines connect to one another.
DME science teacher Ms. Duff attended and organized the program with the students and supported them throughout the experience. Her guidance and encouragement helped the girls fully engage with the activities and take advantage of the opportunity to learn from the scientists, faculty members, and mentors involved in the program.
“I would like to recognize our faculty for organizing the Wiser event,” said DME Director of Student Life Lance Morgan. “The team they assembled won third place, which includes a $2,000 scholarship, and the young ladies who participated were so excited to have been a part of it.”
A total of ten girls from DME Academy attended the WiSER program, and their hard work and participation paid off. Out of the ten students who attended, five were each awarded a $2,000 scholarship. Students winning the scholarship were Rebeca Amorim, Savyib Kamer, Giovanni de Negreiros, Elizabeth Wagner, and Rachel Wagner.
This achievement highlights both the students’ dedication and the impact that programs like WiSER can have in inspiring the next generation of young women to pursue careers in science and innovation.
