Y’all. I’m officially a pen pal to a 6th grader who is dreaming of a career in STEM. (I promised not to drop f-bombs.)

It’s a program that pairs students interested in STEM with adults who work in those industries.

My kid is interested in “computers, human behavior, the brain.” 🔥

We exchange four snail-mail letters over the course of the school year, based on four themes.

I’m stoked.
