2018 OSI Community Fellow Brittany Young was featured on a CBS Evening news segment recently to talk about her program, B-360, an organization that uses dirt bike culture to introduce young people to educational and career opportunities in STEM fields.
“I always hear that STEM is boring, it’s hard. And I was like, ‘No, we just haven’t put it in context in ways people understand,’” said Young, who is an elementary school technology instructor and former chemical engineer. Young found that dirt bike riding, so much a part of Baltimore culture, is that context.
