From:TheBahamasWeekly.com New Providence  August 29th, 2012 - Aisha Bowe, an award-winning Bahamian-American researcher in the Flight Trajectory Dynamics & Controls Branch of the Aviation Systems Division at NASA Ames Research Center will
be visiting Nassau, Bahamas as a guest of her grandfather Mr. Forester
Bowe. She will be conducting interviews and discussions on the
importance of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM).
These discussions will shed light on the importance of STEM for the
Bahamas and the greater Caribbean sub region.Earlier this year Ms. Bowe led an effort to bring a College of the Bahamas student, Mr. Terran Arnold on a 8-week internship at NASA Ames. She hopes to engage the local government and civic organizations on supporting student initiatives such as this.
Ms. Felicity Ingraham of True Vision Media Group will be coordinating her schedule (empressfelicity@gmail.com). She will be holding a Question & Answer session on
Thursday evening at 7pm with students, teachers and parents on STEM, and the
college application process after which Ms. Bowe will open the forum to
general questions. Ms. Bowe believes the Bahamas and the Caribbean
sub-region are strategically placed to contribute in areas such as Earth
Science, Remote Sensing, Global Communication links, and more.
