Bethany Carter – 2023 Northwest Region Rising Star

Tau paub Bethany

Thaum koj muaj tsib xyoos, koj xav ua li cas thaum koj loj hlob? Koj xav ua dab tsi tam sim no?
Thaum kuv muaj tsib xyoos, kuv qhov kev ntshaw siab tshaj plaws yog los ua tus tos txais ntawm Zippy's lossis tus kws kho tsiaj saib xyuas pandas. Kuv lub hom phiaj tau hloov me ntsis txij thaum ntawd los - tam sim no kuv xav ua qee yam hauv aviation, zoo li ua tus kws tsav dav hlau lossis tus kws ua haujlwm hauv aerospace.

Dab tsi yog qhov koj nyiam STEM kev kawm?
Kuv nyiam cov kev kawm hauv STEM yog suav lej thiab physics. Kuv yeej nyiam physics tshwj xeeb vim nws muab txoj hauv kev los piav qhia thiab piav qhia txhua hnub uas peb tau txais kev tso cai. Kuv siv ntau lub hauv paus ntsiab lus los ntawm physics hauv kev ua kis las, thaum sim txiav txim siab ntau txoj hauv kev txav los yog hloov lub zog.

Leej twg yog koj tus qauv STEM?
Ib tug neeg uas kuv ib txwm ntsia mus rau yog yav dhau los Thunderbird pilot Michelle Curran. Nws tau ya F-16s hauv Air Force rau 13 xyoo, dhau los ua tus poj niam thib ob uas tau ya mus rau pawg neeg ua yeeb yam Thunderbird cov neeg tseem ceeb, thiab tseem yog ib tus neeg hais lus thiab sau ntawv. Nws tau ua pov thawj tias qhov kev ua tau zoo hauv STEM hauv qhov kev ua tau zoo thiab qhov chaw sib tw tuaj yeem zoo li, thiab kuv pom tias nws zoo siab heev.
 

STEM Kev Kawm yuav siv davhlau

Qee zaum, nrhiav kev tshoov siab yog qhov yooj yim li saib! Rau Bethany, qee qhov kev pom dav hlau ua rau muaj kev txaus siab rau aerodynamics - thiab daim ntawv tso cai tsav tsheb.

Los ntawm Bethany's Nomination Statement

"Hauv peb lub zej zog me me, cov tub ntxhais kawm yuav tsum muaj kev paub txog kev nrhiav kev kawm zoo, thiab txhua qhov chaw Bethany tau xaiv STEM cov haujlwm hauv thiab sab nraud hauv chav kawm los tawm tsam nws tus kheej, loj hlob raws li tus kws tshuaj ntsuam xyuas, thiab txhawb kom lwm tus ua ib yam.

Bethany tau ua tau zoo tshaj plaws hauv kev kawm lej, kev tshawb fawb, thiab computer science uas muaj nyob hauv peb lub tsev kawm ntawv, thiab tam sim no tsuas yog poj niam hauv nws chav kawm AP physics. Nws tau ua tus TA rau peb Lub Tuam Tsev Technology [...] thiab tseem yog Teen Tutor, muab sijhawm rau txhua lub limtiam los cob qhia cov menyuam yaus, muab kev pabcuam tom tsev, thiab ua tus phooj ywg zoo rau cov menyuam kawm ntawv qib siab 'cov phooj ywg' nyob rau lub sijhawm thaum kev sib raug zoo yog qhov tseem ceeb heev.

Thaum Bethany cov npe ntawm STEM hais txog kev ua haujlwm thiab cov ntaub ntawv kawm ntxiv tau zoo rau lawv tus kheej, Kuv tau txais kev tshoov siab tshaj plaws (awed, tiag tiag) los ntawm Bethany kev koom tes nrog Airhawks Flying Club. Los ntawm lub koom haum no, Bethany tau dhau nws tus kheej pilot sau ntawv xeem, solo-ed nyob rau hauv lub dav hlau nyob rau hauv nws 16th hnub yug, thiab tau txais nws pilot daim ntawv tso cai tsuas yog ib xyoos tom qab (tus yau tshaj tso cai los ntawm FAA). Nws mob siab rau kev ua haujlwm hauv aviation; Nws yeej ci ntsa iab thaum koj nug nws txog nws. " -Meagan Gable, Tus Kws Pab Tswv Yim & Xib Fwb, Orcas Island High School

Washington STEM Rising Star Awards txhawb cov ntxhais kom txais kev kawm STEM thiab tshawb nrhiav kev siv STEM hauv txoj hauv kev uas yuav txhawb nqa lawv txoj kev kawm, kev ua haujlwm, thiab kev loj hlob ntawm tus kheej thiab kev loj hlob thiab kev xav tau ntawm lwm tus.
