04 Jun 2024 Make It REAL Scholars honored with reception at The DeBruce Foundation
The KC STEM Alliance team and The DeBruce Foundation recognized the 2024 Make It REAL Scholarship recipients during a special celebration for families, teachers and friends on June 3. These inspiring students each earned a $500 scholarship by reflecting on their journey through PLTW – Project Lead The Way coursework and capstone projects, the skills they honed from the Agile Work Profiler, and how these experiences have shaped their future aspirations.
The event, hosted by The DeBruce Foundation, included the opportunity for students to get professional headshots and build their networks while enjoying beautiful views of the city.
A special shoutout to Miles Cohen from Shawnee Mission Northwest High School/Center of Academic Achievement, who received the inaugural Agilities Champion Award for his outstanding articulation of how he used his Agilities during his Engineering Design & Development capstone project.
