This past Tuesday, Seabury Middle School students celebrated Ada Lovelace Day.
The middle school science teacher, Mr. Mackenzie, invited women in STEM fields to lead activities
and talk to the students about how they use science, technology, engineering, and math in their jobs
and about what it is like to be a woman in their fields.

We welcomed Dr. Monica Abbi, Dr. Kathy Wang, Dr. Sprenger, Ms. Sonja Anderson,
Ms. Janice Spika, Dr. Penny Rowe, and Dr. Sharon Amani. Their areas of expertise include
obstetrics and gynecology, pain management, climate change research in Antarctica, cancer
research, architecture, business management, and sustainability research in sub-Saharan Africa.
Students introduced each of the experts, practicing their presentation skills.

Students asked questions about changes in weather patterns, sea-level rise in Tacoma, how the
Seabury Middle School space was designed, and how cells multiply and divide. Some students
had questions about how to pursue a career in medicine, and others wanted to know how realistic
medical shows are on television. Ms. Anderson told the students there is a pattern on the floor in the
barn door room. Some know what it is. Will others solve the mystery?

As is always true of any good learning experience, the students ended the day with more questions
than they started with.
than they started with.
