Propel Braddock Hills High School Radio Club — STEM Panel Interviews
In October 2012, students in the Propel Braddock Hills High School Radio Club convened and interviewed a panel of professionals who have careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and/or Math (aka “STEM”). Then, with guidance from The Saturday Light Brigade, students edited and produced radio pieces featuring discussions about the importance of STEM fields in our society. Panelists included Erin Hopkins, a physics and biology teacher at Propel Braddock Hills High School; Mike Capsambelis, a product manager at Google; and Dr. Lanny Venham, a senior chemist at Reaxis, Inc., a chemical manufacturing company in McDonald, Pennsylvania.
