## Story

Nadine Wilkerson, an instructor and engineer for Sylvan Learning, discussed the many ways that the center is encouraging kids in elementary school to get involved with the many areas of STEM at a young age.

“The goal is to pique their interest early to inspire them to continue on in a career of engineering into adulthood,” Wilkerson said.

Wilkerson showcased two projects from Sylvan’s engineering and robotics courses, which included a model suspension bridge and a computer operated robot.

“The most important thing when it comes to pursuing an engineering career, is to know mathematics early. At Sylvan, that’s something that we focus on,” Wilkerson added.
