Yes, today shall determine the future of many of our Scholars.

Our Scholars have been exposed to an academic environment that is enriching and full of possibilities.

Our Scholars' minds will be faced with unknown challenges to future discoveries they will make - should they choose to do so...

The i3 STEM program and Metro Nashville Public Schools provide the tools by partnering with Vanderbilt University. I know you agree with me, this is an unbeatable combo.

These programs need to continue -- I want to find out in 7-9 years how many of these students will follow STEM based careers. Today, definitely we've established a powerful precedent.

The stations - all focusing on optical surgeries -

using Laser, Ultraviolet rays and Ultrasound

They witnessed first hand the STEAM process - EDP (Engineering Design Process) ruled today.

The Group of Biomedical Engineers at Vanderbilt University presently work incredibly hard to achieve grandiosity in their respective area of interest.

They were so welcoming, supportive of our students' curiosity.

7 different schools participated today.

Our students would rarely have the opportunity to be in the same space, at the same time.

But we make it happen.

This is of great use. They see they are kids. They see they are students. They see they have similar interests and differences. They have been put together to realize they can pursue their dreams.

This is so valuable.

Mission accomplished. Thank you everyone... All the hard work so worth it...

At the end of the day... Abinaya said: "I want to say thank you for this valuable experience. You have made it happen for me. This is the best experience I've had in my life!"

I told her: "This is just the beginning. We will make sure you have many more."
