WHITE SALMON — Lilli McCauley, a junior at the White Salmon Academy in the White Salmon Valley School District, has been named Career Connect Southwest’s 2023 Washington STEM Rising Star.
“Lilli has contributed countless hours after school and on weekends developing assistive devices for people with disabilities and challenges,” said McCauley’s Project Invent mentor and Gorge Makerspace founder Jack Perrin.
The Washington STEM Rising Star Awards recognize young women who explore STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) in ways that will support their education, career, personal development and community.
The awardees were nominated by their schools and selected in partnership with regional networks. They will receive a $500 stipend and will be celebrated at Washington STEM’s 2023 Summit luncheon.
“The data show that a strong cradle-to-career STEM education prepares students for high-demand, household-sustaining jobs,” Washington STEM CEO Lynne Varner said. “The Rising Star Awards highlight the next generation of leaders and encourage girls and young women to explore STEM education and careers.”
The 2023 Rising Star awardees can be found listed by name and region on the Washington STEM website at washingtonstem.org/2023-washington-stem-rising-star-awards.
