Once a month, over 150 students at Evergreen Middle School in Everett skip the cafeteria and instead eat their lunch in the library as they listen to a local speaker who works in a field that uses science, technology, engineering or math.
“Our goal for Lunch and Learn is to ignite students’ passions by creating opportunities to explore careers they didn’t know existed,” said teacher Rachel Sadri, who created the program with fellow teacher Craig Marais.
Recent speakers have included Randy Middaugh, Snohomish County principal planner, and engineering students Dominic Forbush, Hannah Ross and Curtis Rusch of the University of Washington’s Northwest National Marine Renewable Energy Center.
Future presentations will include how STEM knowledge and thinking is used by people in the military, architecture, medicine and graphic design.
