Thursday: B Week “Wednesday schedule” 9:45 Seminar
Friday: B Week, “Thursday schedule” 9:45 Clubs
This week for Women’s History Month, we are celebrating groundbreaking women in the STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, and math).
Jane Goodall (1934-2025)
Dr. Valerie Jane Morris-Goodall was born in Bournemouth England on April 3, 1934. Growing up, Jane had always loved animals and had had numerous house pets like tortoises, dogs and others. Jane couldn’t afford college so she went to a secretarial school to perfect typing, shorthand, and bookkeeping skills. She worked multiple jobs and by age 23 she left to pursue her dream of living in Africa. It is there that Jane found her interest in chimpanzees. Jane made groundbreaking discoveries, revolutionizing the understanding of animal behavior by finding out that chimpanzees make and use tools. Jane recently died October first 2025.
“Change happens by listening and then starting a dialogue with the people who are doing something you don’t believe is right.”
Margaret Hamilton (1936–)
Margaret Hamilton is an American computer scientist who created the term “software engineering.” Her most famous accomplishment was being a lead developer on the Apollo 11 software. During this time she wrote code for the priority alarm display,” which meant the computer would shut down less important systems if overloaded. This code saved the Apollo 11 mission during an emergency while landing!
“Every problem has two handles. You can grab it by the handle of fear or the handle of hope.”
Mary Anning (1799-1847)
Mary Anning was a British paleontologist who is widely renowned as the “greatest fossilist to ever live.” She spent her career examining the marine fossils that washed ashore in her hometown of Dorset, England. She had little formal education, typical of women in the Georgian Era, but taught herself basic anatomy and geology. She is credited with the first discovery of the Ichthyosaurus, uncovering almost a full fossilized skeleton at only 12 years old.
“Science is the language with which we converse with nature, and its truths are revealed through the language of evidence.”
Thank you for reading! We encourage you to think about how these women–and all of the other hard working women in STEM–have impacted your lives!

Women’s History Month
Yayoi Kusama (1929–)
Referred to as the woman who invented polka dots, Yayoi Kusama is a world famous artist who adopted the polka dot as her signature motif to represent “self-obliteration,” hallucinations and infinity. Kusama was born in 1929 in Nagano, Japan and is now 96 years old and still creating. In the 1960s, she embraced hippie counterculture and organized “happenings” in which participants were painted with brightly colored polka dots. She is one of the world’s most successful living artists and a top-selling female artist.
“With just one polka dot, nothing can be achieved.”
Enheduanna (c. 2300 BCE)
Enheduanna was a Mesopotamian high priestess, princess, and poet. She is the first named author in all of recorded history! We have 42 temple hymns and three poems written by her. Her existence was not known until 1927 when objects belonging to her were excavated.
“Your great deeds are unparallelled, your magnificence is praised! Young woman, Inana, your praise is sweet!”
Edmonia Lewis (1844-1907)
Nicknamed “Wildfire”, Edmonia Lewis was the first sculptor of African American and Native American descent to receive worldwide recognition for her artwork. She established herself as a professional artist, sculpting portraits of anti-slavery heroes. Lewis was determined to prove herself as an independent artist, and therefore did all her work herself, unlike other sculptors of this time. Much of her art dealt with her heritage and the oppression of African American people, breaking stereotypes and changing the narratives that policed Black people and women at the time.
“Sometimes the times were dark and the outlook was lonesome, but where there is a will, there is a way. I pitched in and dug at my work until now I am where I am”.
Civic Learning Week highlights the important role that civic education and participation play in strengthening and sustaining democracy in the United States. As America reaches its 250th anniversary, the need to be civically engaged and strengthen our communities is more important than ever.
The National Youth Leadership Council (NYLC) believes that young voices have the power to drive change. That’s why we’re launching The Power of We creativitycontest, challenging teens across the country to explore, analyze, and share how working together for the common good makes’ communities stronger.

A summit by youth, for youth. This year’s summit invites participants to reflect on moments of resilience in our shared past and explore how they can inspire meaningful action.
This dynamic, youth-led event is designed to amplify the power of young people to learn, connect, and lead. Planned by youth for youth, the Summit creates a space for students from across the country to come together, build leadership skills, and explore how they can create meaningful change in their schools and communities.
The Youth Leadership Summit is created and led by NYLC’s Youth Advisory Council. Every session, activity, and project reflects youth voices, ensuring the event speaks directly to the issues and opportunities that matter most to students today.
Be part of a movement of young leaders who are shaping the future. Whether you’re just starting your leadership journey or already leading change, the Youth Leadership Summit is for you.
