Hi, I’m Genevieve Plata, better known as Genna.

I’m currently in the 8th grade, and my math teacher nominated me to attend the National Youth Leadership Forum: Explore STEM. This will allow me to attend the 2026 summer session at a college of my choice. I will be able to stay onsite for a week in a dorm and attend engineering, robotics programming, medicine/healthcare, and CSI exploration workshops. I will be able to meet, speak, and learn from experts in the STEM industry.

This is an opportunity that will allow me access to real-life simulations and a like-minded community that can help me plan for nothing less than the best success in high school, college, and my future career!

If you would like more information about the program and what you will be supporting, please visit NYLFstem.com.

Any amount is greatly appreciated. Thank you!!
