Alyssa Lind, Marine Science Interpretive Diver and Educator at the Seattle Aquarium, will speak at the STEM Scholar Recognition event.

AAUW Seattle has been recognizing and honoring high school students for their talents in math, science and technology since 2001. We believe it’s critical to honor and encourage them to continue their studies in STEM fields. Every year in April we hold a reception and invite the awardees and their families to celebrate their considerable success. This year we will honor more than 30 11th graders who self-identify as women or were assigned female at birth and self identify as non-binary.

We work with a number of Seattle area public high schools and Making Connections at the University of Washington Women’s Center. All awardees are nominated by their teachers or counselors. Our members engage with the schools, facilitate the selections, and answer any questions.

Our keynote speaker will be Alyssa Lind. Alyssa has a master’s degree in marine biology and has been an educator, researcher, and diver with the Seattle Aquarium for 8 years. Her work and studies have taken her all over the world, from subarctic to tropical ecosystems. While her specialties are research SCUBA diving, and climate change impacts on kelp forest ecology, she has worked on a wide variety of research and conservation projects, from microplastics to sea otters and everything in between.
