From YouTube: 3rd Annual STEM Leadership Breakfast
Description
Young people are our future and providing them with quality science, technology, engineering and math opportunities is the recipe for the success of Boston's future. Mayor Walsh, Turahn Dorsey and Mike Durkin of United Way gather with business and educational leaders at the Revere Hotel in Downtown to emphasize the importance of STEM Education and to honor Jeff Leiden of Vertex Pharmaceuticals with the inaugural STEM Corporate Leader of the Year Award.

B

B

So
I'm
much
happier
to
be
here,
even
though
we
had
I
had
to
weather
the
the
green
line
this
morning.
But
you
all
know
that
story
as
well.
I
hope
that
you
enjoyed
the
networking
hour
and
had
a
chance
to
interact
with
unruly
studios
and
their
demonstration
of
one
of
their
interactive
experiences,
designed
to
empower
kids
with
critical
STEM
skills
while
encouraging
physical
play
and
social
engagement.
B
Today,
United
Way
has
brought
together
the
people
and
the
organizations
who
can
make
things
happen
for
young
people
in
our
city.
That
includes
you,
the
game
changers
and
the
hand-raisers,
who
will
help
ensure
that
no
one
is
left
behind
and
that
young
people
are
able
to
be
the
drivers
of
their
own
education
and
ride
the
stim
wave.
B
So
we're
going
to
ask
that
you
consider
partnering
with
one
another
partnering
with
the
United
Way
partnering
with
schools
and
nonprofits,
to
make
sure
that
our
young
people
are
at
the
leading
edge,
the
future
innovators,
the
future
makers,
the
future
scientists
and
experimenters.
This
room
is
filled
with
individuals
with
the
skills
and
the
stories
of
success
and
the
power
to
empower
to
inspire
our
students.
B
The
mayor
will
be
here
shortly
to
make
sure
that
we
we
put
the
the
proper
luster
on
that
award,
and
so
we
will
await
him.
But
while
we
are
doing
that,
we
are
going
to
partake
in
a
ritual
that
we
do
every
year
at
this
breakfast.
So
this
is
the
Boston
breakfast.
This
is
not
the
Boston
Tea
Party.
So
there
is
not
going
to
be
anything
polite
about
this.
We
expect
you
to
make
a
lot
of
noise,
so
what
we
want
to
do
is
thank
all
of
the
partners
who
made
this
morning
possible.
B
So
when
you
hear
the
name
of
your
company
be
loud,
do
not
be
out
shown
by
anybody
else
in
this
room.
I
don't
particularly
like
to
be
up
at
this
hour,
although
I
am
often
so
you
need
to
bring
the
energy
this
morning,
so
we
are
going
to
thank
our
first
partner
and,
if
you're
not
loud,
we're
going
to
do
it
again.
You
need
to
set
an
example.
B
B
B
We
might
have
a
winner
all
right:
let's
keep
going
Beth
Israel,
Deaconess,
Medical,
Center,
all
right,
Thank,
You,
Gil,
Bain
and
company
Harvard
Pilgrim
health
care,
Thank,
You,
Harvard,
Pilgrim
kpmg
got
a
rival
over
there,
all
right,
Massachusetts,
Eye
and
Ear
New
England
Baptist
Hospital,
my
man
Corey
Thomas,
and
his
team
rapper
7
and
security
innovation.
All
right
all
right.
We
got
some
winners
in
the
room.
We
want
to
thank
all
of
those
sponsors.
So
can
you
give
them
one
more
big
hand.
B
B
B
Now
I'm
thrilled
to
let
you
know
that
the
past
year
has
been
game-changing
for
the
Boston
Network
in
October,
United
Way
was
awarded
a
3.9
million
dollar
grant
by
the
US
Department
of
Education,
with
two
primary
objectives:
first,
to
drive
substantial
increases
in
student
interest
in
stem
and
STEM
related
careers
in
the
city
of
Boston
and,
secondly,
to
prove
the
impact
of
hands-on
learning
by
tracking
student
achievement
and
math
and
science
year
over
year.
This
is
one
of
16
grants
awarded
nationally
and
the
only
one
in
Massachusetts.
B
It
was
also
the
only
stem
focused
project
that
was
awarded
by
the
do-e.
This
is
both
the
direct
acknowledgement
and
a
strong
vote
of
confidence
in
the
quality
of
the
Boston
program
to
date.
In
fact,
the
primary
reason
we
received
this
grant
is
because
Boston
has
proven
effective
to
effectively
tackle
the
urgent
need
for
quality,
STEM
education
and
college
and
career
readiness
and
may
well
prove
to
be
the
basis
of
a
national
model
if
you've
been
here
over
the
past
two
years.
Thank
you.
Please
know
that
your
hard
work
is
paying
off.
B
This
grant
could
have
not
could
not
have
come
at
a
more
critical
time
today.
Nearly
half
of
all
new
jobs
in
the
Boston
area
requires
STEM
skills.
Yet
over
two-thirds
of
Massachusetts
employers
report
difficulty
finding
employees
with
the
right
skills,
it's
imperative
that
we
build
a
bigger
and
better
pipeline
to
the
future
through
STEM
education
and
we'll
begin
by
building
that
pipeline.
Now,
we'll
continue
building
that
pipeline
now
and
we
must
begin
early
by
age.
13,
students
are
choosing
their
career
path.
B
C
This
room
here
today
the
world
is
in
this
room.
You
have
kids
and
adult
in
different
parts
of
the
world.
Families
came
from
different
places
and
what
makes
our
country
so
special
is
the
fact
that
we
are
truly
an
international
country.
My
favorite
part
of
my
job
is
coming
to
a
school
and
talking
to
young
people,
I
love
doing
that
because
you
are
the
future
of
Boston.
Boston
is
at
the
center
of
Education.
C
Boston
is
at
the
center
of
STEM
education
because
of
what's
happening
in
our
city,
what's
happening
with
our
young
people,
using
science,
technology,
engineering
and
math
in
new
and
amazing
way,
showing
that
the
potential
of
the
workforce
here
in
the
United
States
of
America
in
the
world.
Quite
honestly,
windows.
D
Dss
student
at
this
in
Boston
Public
Schools.
It's
our
mission
to
close
the
opportunity
achievement
gap,
45%
of
new
jobs
in
this
city
are
STEM
related
and
that's
what
it
is
so
important
that
you
are
getting
these
foundational
skills.
This
work
is
project
based.
It's
hands-on!
It's
actually
what
you
would
do
when
you
are
the
scientist,
innovators,
the
computer
programmers
of
tomorrow-
and
why
are
we
focused
on
grades
6
through
8
44%
of
fourth
graders
report?
That
math
is
their
favorite
subject,
but
that
drops
down
to
27%
in
eighth
grade
thanks.
C
E
F
Boston
is
really
where
curiosity
and
creativity
meet
critical
thinking.
Learning
doesn't
stop
at
school,
but
includes
after-school
in
summer.
Our
goal
is
to
make
sure
that
kids
have
fun
after
school.
They
have
a
safe
place
to
go,
they
make
new
friends
and
they
learn
skills
that
will
get
them
ready
not
only
for
success
in
school,
but
also
well
beyond
in
college
and
career.
Wonderful.
B
So
one
of
the
things
that
you
did
not
see
or
hear
in
that
video,
but
that
I
had
the
privilege
of
partaking
in
at
the
mana
was
actually
talking
to
the
young
people.
So
you
already
knew
that
the
old
people
were
excited
about
this,
but
you
should
have
heard
the
students
walk
you
through
the
projects
that
they
were
doing.
B
You
should
have
heard
the
qat
that
they
had
with
the
mayor
after
that
that
not
only
ranged
from
stem
topics
to
what
was
happening
in
school
that
day,
but
also
pressing
national
events
that
they
were
aware
of
and
were
ready
to
have
a
sincere
and
deep
dialogue
with
the
mayor
on.
It
was
really
an
incredible
day.
So
we
know,
we've
got
the
right
people
in
the
seats
in
terms
of
the
young
people.
We
know
that
we
need
to
step
up
for
them
and
that's
what
this
morning
is
about.
B
They're
another
set
of
folks
who
are
stepping
up
for
young
people
who
were
highlighted
to
some
degree
in
the
video.
But
we
want
to
give
them
special
acknowledgement,
their
representatives
here
from
eight
out-of-school
time,
programs
who
will
work
with
us
over
the
next
five
years
to
prove
that
Boston
is
a
powerful
approach
to
reversing
declining
trends
in
STEM
interest
among
middle
schoolers.
These
are
the
best
of
the
best
organizations
in
Boston,
they're,
uniquely
positioned,
to
help
get
middle-school,
students
excited
about
stem
learning
and
STEM
fields.
B
B
G
Well,
Ron,
thanks
very
much
and
good
morning
to
all
of
you.
It's
interesting
the
way.
Sometimes,
science
intersects
in
your
life
big
day
today
we're
some
great
organizations,
great
supporters
and
some
great
honorees
that
we're
gonna
recognize
this
corporate
leadership.
I
had
a
flashback
when
I
walked
in
here.
Some
of
you
might
recall
this
used
to
be
a
movie
theater,
so
I
think
honest
to
god.
I
think
it
was
40
years
ago,
I
had
one
of
my
first
science
orientations
or
indoctrinations
I.
G
Think
I
came
here
to
watch
The
Exorcist
when
I
was
in
college,
so
so
science
is
sort
of
come
full
circle
for
me
here
today,
really
and
truly
we're
delighted
that
that
you've
come
out
and
helped
us
support
the
stem
work.
The
United
Way
is
doing
in
concert
with
so
many
other
organizations.
There's
a
lot
of
people
who
put
all
this
together
and
at
the
risk
of
singling
out
one
person,
who's
been
with
us
from
the
beginning
on
this
Jeff
pray
with
rapid7
Jeff,
C,
United,
Way
board
member.
G
When
we
were
trying
to
figure
out
how
we
could
make
this
be
the
best
intersection
between
United
Way's
good
work,
the
work
of
so
many
corporate
and
individual
supporters,
and
then
the
kids
and
organization
to
support
them
Jeff
was
one
who
really
helped
to
plow
the
road
ahead,
there's
others
that
have
come
on.
In
the
meantime,
we
appreciate
all
them,
but
somebody
had
to
start
this
out
and
Jeff
clearly
was
one
of
them.
G
What
we've
got
an
opportunity
to
do
today
is
to
say
thanks
to
two
of
the
organizations,
that
of
the
many
many
that
submitted
to
be
our
corporate
sponsor
corporate
leader
of
the
year
with
stem
our
two
runners-up
and
I'm
delighted
to
recognize
them
from
the
floor.
First
of
them
is
Gilbane
construction,
I
think
those
folks
are
over
here.
Let's
give
them,
let's
give
them
a
hand.
G
You
know
Gilbane
is
an
organization
has
been
around
since
1873
I
can
tell
you
that
their
commitment
to
United
Way
in
Greater
Boston
and
the
communities
in
which
they
work
is
deep
and
real.
They've
had
their
people
out
doing
STEM
related
projects,
exposing
kids
to
learning
opportunities
at
at
schools
throughout
eastern
Massachusetts
throughout
Greater
Boston
they've
been
with
us
for
a
very
long
time.
We
really
appreciate
the
partnership.
Congratulations
on
being
one
of
our
runners-up
here
today.
G
The
other,
the
other
group
a
little
bit
a
little
bit
newer
than
Gilbane
not
around
since
1873,
but
a
great
organization
who's
jumped
in
around
learning
and
exposure
opportunities
for
kids
for
kids,
around
STEM,
giving
kids
an
opportunity
to
see
what
the
world
could
be
and
how
technology
plays
a
role
for
them
as
they
move
forward.
And
that's
our
good
friends
from
Salesforce.
So
we're
sitting
over
here.
And
if
you
could.
G
We're
also
delighted
at
United,
Way
July
of
this
year,
we're
launching
nationally
with
Salesforce
the
philanthropy,
it's
a
great
opportunity
for
individuals
to
impact
their
community
through
volunteering
through
donations,
through
understanding,
more
which
organizations
are
really
having
the
right
kind
of
inflection
and
we're
gonna
say
on
kids
and
families
throughout
the
community.
So
we've
got
some
great
organizations
who
have
done
great
work,
we're
fortunate
to
be
able
to
recognize
a
couple
of
them
today.
G
G
G
His
personal
experience
is
on
learning
and
coming
here
with
his
family
being
first-generation
Americans
as
where
many
of
the
kids
in
there
and
the
idea
that
all
of
us
have
something
to
give
something
powerful
and
we
can
offer
back
to
our
communities
and
we
can
build
a
future
for
each
other
and
for
our
community
to
work
together.
It
was
a
grand
day
and
it's
a
grand
day
again
today
and
it's
my
good
fortune
introduce
our
mayor,
Marty
Walsh,.
C
Thank
you
might
go
away.
Let
me
just
take
a
minute
to
thank
Michael
in
the
United
Way
and
for
the
great
work
they
do
in
the
city
and
the
Commonwealth
in
the
country.
Every
time
I
go
to
an
event
Michaels
there
and
his
team
is
there.
In
the
event
we
were
at
over
in
East.
Boston
was
an
incredible
day,
because
a
lot
of
noise
came
out
of
Washington
that
particular
day
as
well,
and
a
lot
of
the
kids
that
were
in
the
classroom
that
day
we're
afraid.
Quite
honestly,
they
were
afraid
of
their
parents.
E
C
Afraid
of
somebody
showing
up
at
the
school-
and
it
was,
it
was
an
incredible
day
because
we
saw
so
much
incredible
learning
in
the
school,
particularly
around
stem
and
steam,
and
it
was
great
to
see
it
there.
So
Mike
I
want
to
thank
you
for
all
you
do
in
our
city.
Every
time
I
pick
up
the
phone
or
somebody
calls
we
get
it
done.
I'm
not
gonna
touch
this
Lego
thing,
I'll
break
it,
but
I
want
to
I
want
to
I
want
to.
Thank
you.
C
I
want
to
thank
Ron
Dorsey
as
well
a
chief
education
in
the
city
of
Boston,
who
does
incredible
work
in
our
city
and
with
with
education,
and
thank
you
Ron
for
all
you
do
and
before
I
congratulate
Jeff
I
want
to
thank
everyone
in
this
room
and
say:
look
around
this
room.
I
see
most
of
the
people.
A
lot
of
the
faces,
I
see
I
will
see
it
an
event
tonight.
I'll
see
it
in
event
tomorrow,
I'll
see
in
the
event
next
week,
you
are
many
of
you
in
this
room.
C
Are
the
leaders
of
helping
our
young
people
be
successful
and
right
now,
in
our
city,
we're
going
through
this
incredible
transformation
and
really
it's
about?
How
do
we
make
sure
that
the
young
people
have
opportunities
for
success,
and
last
night
I
was
at
an
event
called
Get
Connected
Collette
Phillips
put
it
on.
It
was
about
diversity
and
I
was
on
a
panel
and
they
were
asking
us
what
what
is
the
future?
What
is
the
strongest
way
to
deal
with
racism?
What
is
the
future
strongest
way
to
deal
with
inclusion?
C
What
is
the
strongest
way
to
deal
with
different
things
that
we
have
problem
challenges?
We
have
right
now
in
society,
and
one
of
my
answers
was
education.
Education
is
the
answer.
Education
is
the
answer
to
inequality.
Education
is
the
answer
to
poverty.
Education
is
the
answer
to
racism.
Education
is
the
answer
to
crime.
Education
is
the
answer,
there's
so
many
things
when
people
have
the
opportunity
and
get
that
early
foundation
in
the
young
people
get
that
early
foundation
and
we
can
create
a
pathway.
It's
so
important.
C
I
met
Jeff
about
five
years
ago.
I
knew
who
he
was
before.
I
was
the
mayor.
I
was
a
state
representative
and
then,
when
I
became,
the
mayor
of
Boston
I
instantly
knew
that
this
was
a
partner
in
the
corporate
side
that
I
had
to
get
to
know
and
I
thought
that
that's
what
the
relationship
would
be
a
corporate
me,
a
relationship
and
soon
after
that
I
realized.
There
was
so
much
more
than
that.
Jeff
in
vertex
has
helped
make
Boston
in
Massachusetts
a
leader
in
life
science,
as
many
of
us
in
this
room
know.
C
Under
his
leadership,
Varitek
has
continued
to
thrive.
They've
made
significant
advancements
in
treatment
of
curing
some
of
the
most
serious
diseases
like
cystic
fibrosis,
they're
committed
to
saving
the
biggest
solving
the
biggest
challenges
of
our
time
and
changing
people's
lives
as
a
company
as
a
business
leader.
Vertex
truly
stands
out
and
there's
no
question
in
my
mind
about
that.
They
kid
deeply
also
about
the
students
and
getting
them
excited
about
careers
in
science,
and
one
of
my
first
chores
of
vertex
was
right.
C
The
Learning
Lab
provides
STEM
education
for
career
opportunities
for
over
a
thousand
Boston
public
school
kids.
These
are
kids
that
would
not
have
had
this
opportunity.
None
of
us
most
of
us
in
this
room
didn't
have
that
opportunity.
We
didn't
have
the
opportunity
to
go
into
a
laboratory
and
actually
see
people
working
and
actually
see
the
opportunity
and
these
young
people
when
they
go
and
they
get
coats
and
they
get
glasses
and
they
get
gloves
and
they
walk
in,
like
all
the
other
scientists
that
work
in
the
building
and
it's
an
incredible
opportunity
to
see.
C
I
want
to
thank
vertical
being
one
of
our
first
partners
and
our
aunt
in
our
anchors
in
the
both
STEM
program.
They
also
partner
in
our
summer
job
program
and
Jeff
also
is
a
person
that
my
first
year
is
mayor
again.
I
went
back
to
his
office
and
he
brought
in
I
think
he
brought
in
about
15
to
20
biotech
companies
and
pharmaceutical
couple
uses
sat
around
the
table.
C
These
are
companies
that
had
never
taken
part
in
our
summer
job
program
in
the
past,
and
he
put
a
challenge
to
them
to
step
out
and
to
help
us
to
give
young
people
opportunities
and
ever
since
that
year,
he's
done
it
every
single
year.
Since
he's
brought
people
into
his
his
conference
room
with
his
team
to
talk
about
the
importance
of
giving
back
in
helping
young
people
they're
helping
prepare
them
for
the
cutting
edge
jobs
of
tomorrow
and
giving
young
people
opportunities
and
options
that
they
weren't
happy.
C
Having
last
year
at
vertex,
announced
a
50
million
dollar
for
STEM
education
as
part
of
their
campaign
for
giving
that
means.
Thousands
of
students
all
across
the
city
will
continue
to
have
access
to
the
Learning
Lab
to
mentoring,
to
internships,
and
we
can't
wait
to
see
I
can't
wait
to
see
the
impact
that
they're
gonna
have
an
are
growing
pipeline
talent
and
the
future
of
our
innovation
economy.
This
year,
we're
gonna
be
opening
the
dip
on
STEM
Academy
in
Roxbury.
C
It's
the
first
new
high
school
in
Boston
in
over
30
years,
and
the
focus
is
on
stem
and
we're
gonna
be
able
to
partner
with
companies
like
vertex
and
be
able
to
do
incredible
things.
So
our
young
people
and
a
very
young
age
will
be
exposed,
not
just
two
or
three
weeks
during
the
summer
or
a
couple
months
or
in
the
summer,
but
throughout
the
entire
year
they
have
that
opportunity.
C
I
could
go
on
and
on
about
Jeff's
influence
on
our
city
in
the
biotech
sector,
but
I
know
that
they
will
continue
to
do
great
things
in
the
future,
whether
it's
finding
the
latest
cure
for
serious
disease
and
I,
don't
think
we
can
understand
score
the
importance
of
that
or
helping
a
student
go
to
college
and
follow
their
dreams.
It's
my
honor
now
to
present
the
first-ever
stem
corporate
leadership
award
to
Geoff
Lydon
in
vertex
pharmaceutical.
H
So
much
it
means
a
great
deal
that
you
came
here
to
give
me
this
award.
I.
Think
all
of
you
know
that
the
mayor
since
since
before
he
was
mayor,
has
been
one
of
the
most
passionate
and
steadfast
advocates
for
education
for
our
young
people
in
the
city
almost
everywhere,
I
go
with
him
almost
every
event.
He
starts
off
by
talking
about
education
and
talking
about
young
people,
and
he
doesn't
just
talk
about
it.
He's
put
in
place
with
his
team,
just
some
absolutely
incredible
programs
to
give
our
young
people
more
opportunities.
H
Also
want
to
thank
Mike
Durkin
and
the
United
Way,
the
United
Way
has
done
so
many
different
things
in
the
city,
but
we've
been
just
particularly
delighted
to
see
the
migration
into
the
stem
and
education
area
over
the
last
number
of
years.
The
the
new
federal
grant
is
just
one
more
addition
to
that
program,
but
you
have
just
been
an
incredible
partner
and
we
we
look
forward
to
working
with
you
on
many
of
these
projects.
So
thank
you.
Mike.
H
And,
as
the
mayor
said,
these
efforts
have
to
be
public/private
partnerships,
and
so
I
want
to
thank
Ron,
the
Boston
Public
School
System,
because
without
them
and
without
their
partnership
and
their
willingness
to
try
some
new
things
with
us,
like
our
Learning
Lab,
we
just
wouldn't
be
able
to
accomplish
these
things
so
Ron.
Thanks
for
all,
you
do
as
well.
H
So,
at
the
risk
of
repeating
a
little
bit,
what
you've
already
heard,
let
me
talk
a
little
bit
about
why
we
are
so
passionate
about
STEM
education.
You
know
at
vertex
we
start
by
believing
in
exactly
what
the
mayor
said,
that
education
is
the
single
most
important
force,
the
most
powerful
force
that
will
allow
us
to
address
so
many
of
the
social
and
economic
issues
that
we're
struggling
with
in
this
country.
Why
do
I
say
that
I
get?
Actually
the
mayor
said
it
more
eloquently,
but
I'll
give
it
a
try
too.
H
It's
really
the
only
way
that
we
can
provide
opportunities
for
all
of
our
kids
and
our
citizens
to
achieve
economic
prosperity.
It
holds
the
promise
to
reduce
and
address
so
many
of
the
important
social
issues
that
we
worry
about.
Issues
like
crime
and
issues
like
drug
addiction
and
issues
like
racism.
The
only
way
we're
gonna
do,
that
is
by
educating
all
of
our
kids
and
all
of
our
citizens.
H
It
enables
a
better
informed
public
and
I
would
I
would
hazard
a
guess
that
that
will
allow
the
public
to
make
better
political
decisions,
not
saying
anything,
but
that's
gonna.
Be
important
as
well
and
it
will
ensure
that
America
continues
to
lead
the
way
in
innovation.
I
don't
need
to
remind
you
that
there
are
many
countries
out
there
that
are
quite
envious
of
what
we're
doing
in
innovation,
whether
it's
on
the
tech
side
of
the
biotech
side,
they're
spending
tremendous
amounts
of
time
and
money
on
educating
their
young
kids.
H
H
H
These
are
the
kids
who
are
the
future
scientists,
the
future
physicians,
the
future
CEOs
of
the
tech
and
biotech
companies
that
will
grow
and
thrive
here
in
Boston.
One
way
of
saying
it.
The
mayor's
said
this
to
me
before
is
it's
just
the
right
thing
to
do?
It's
the
right
thing
to
do,
for
our
children,
for
our
city,
for
our
economy
and
for
ourselves
now.
H
Obviously,
it's
easy
to
say
that
we
should
do
this
and
we
should
do
more
STEM
education,
but
I
think
the
question
is:
is
how
do
we
do
it,
and
you
heard
a
bit
from
ron
about
this
to
us.
The
first
principle
is
that
we
have
to
hook
these
kids
early
I
have
a
lot
of
fret,
very
good
friends
who
are
great
scientists
around
the
country.
If
you
ask
any
one
of
them,
they
can
tell
you
the
event,
the
teacher
in
fifth
grade
or
sixth
grade
or
seventh
grade
that
hooked
them
on
Science
and
Technology.
H
It
wasn't
in
college,
it
wasn't
in
graduate
school.
In
my
case,
it
was
my
fifth
grade
teacher,
mrs.
Giancana,
who
taught
me
how
to
dissect
the
frog,
if
you
can
believe
it
or
not,
and
that's
what
hooked
me
in
science
from
that
point
on,
there
was
no
doubt
in
my
own
mind
that
I
was
going
to
be
a
scientist
in
a
position
going
forward.
We
need
to
give
all
of
our
kids
that
inspiration.
H
We
need
to
do
it
early
because
we
lose
the
majority
of
them,
particularly
girls,
in
underprivileged
minorities
in
sixth,
seventh
and
eighth
grade.
So,
as
Ron
said,
our
programs
have
to
focus
there
and
I'm
delighted
that
the
United
Way
programs
are
focusing
their
on
the
middle
school.
I
think
that's
very,
very
important.
H
H
Companies
are
stepping
up
by
themselves
to
provide
those
opportunities,
as
the
mayor
said,
and
at
vertex
we've
decided
to
try
to
create
this
program.
That
runs
all
the
way
from
middle
school
through
college.
When
we
bring
the
kids
into
a
3,000
square,
foot,
Learning
Lab,
it's
staffed
by
a
full-time
teacher
and
it's
staffed
by
most
of
our
volunteer
employees,
who
are
right
here
at
this
table.
So
let's
give
them
a
hand.
H
We
bring
more
than
a
thousand
kit
by
some
public
school
kids
through
that
lab
every
year
and
they
do
things
like
learn
how
to
sequence:
DNA
learn
how
to
build
hydrogen
powered
cars,
learn
how
to
do
forensic
experiments
and
they
come
out
different
people
with
a
different
level
of
excitement
about
science.
35
of
them
then
join
us
in
summer
internships
where
they
spend
the
morning
in
the
learning
lab
in
the
afternoon,
working
it
one
of
several
jobs
around
vertex,
some
at
the
bench,
some
in
computer
science,
some
in
finance.
H
So
you
might
ask
me:
well
how
is
that
all
working
out
Ron
showed
you
some
very
impressive
numbers
and
I
can
show
you
some
very
impressive
numbers
and
statistics,
but
instead
I
thought
I'd
just
tell
you
a
story
which
to
me
sort
of
exemplifies
it.
It's
a
story
about
one
of
our
students
named
gladdie,
Baez,
so
glad
he's
a
young
woman.
H
I
first
met
as
a
sophomore
I
think
in
high
school
from
the
excel
academy,
when
she
came
through
our
Learning
Lab
one
day
and
as
the
mayor
said,
I'd
go
down
there
sometimes
and
talk
with
the
kids,
and
she
was
just
particularly
excited
about
science
and
about
the
lab.
We
brought
her
back
and
she
did
several
internships
at
vertex
over
the
summers
and
got
more
excited
about
science,
and
then
she
was
one
of
our
first
college,
scholarship,
recipients
and
she's.
H
Now
in
a
STEM
program,
UMass
Boston
and
she
wants
to
be
a
physician,
scientist
and
I.
Think
to
me
the
best
evidence
of
her
of
the
effects
of
the
program
are
every
year
she
comes
back
to
our
Learning,
Lab
and
volunteers,
to
be
a
teacher
in
the
summer.
For
the
next
generation
of
kids
and
I've
said
to
our
group
that
I'll
know
the
program
successful
when
gladdie
graduates
and
we
actually
hire
her
as
an
employee
of
vertex
I'm
determined
to
do
that
so
gladdie
and
so
many
other
young
people
like
her.
H
That's
what
this
is
all
about.
We
do
it
one
student
at
a
time,
but
you
can
see
the
effects
on
thousands
when
you
do
it
over
the
years
so
again
on
behalf
of
all
the
employees
at
vertex
who
do
all
the
work.
Thank
you
for
this
honor.
Thank
you
for
this
award
and
we
look
forward
to
working
with
you
in
the
United
Way
in
the
future
of
STEM
education,
Thanks.
B
So
I
think
Jeff
Lydon
just
took
all
of
the
excuses
out
of
the
room.
If
you
don't
know
why
you
would
do
this,
if
you
don't
know
what
to
do,
if
you
don't
know
how
to
do
it,
the
roadmap
just
got
laid
out
so
before
you
leave.
If
you
are
still
scratching
your
head,
please
talk
to
Jeff
and
his
team.
They
will
walk
you
through
how
this
is
done.
The
lift
is
a
lot
easier
and
far
more
impactful
than
you
could
ever
imagine.
B
I
Hello,
my
name
is
Anaya
benders
I
am
an
eighth
grader
at
the
Gardner
pilot
Academy
and
Brighton
Massachusetts
I've
been
a
student
at
Gardiner,
since
I
was
in
kindergarten.
I
am
now
13
years
old
and
have
been
a
member
of
the
Latino
STEM
program
for
the
past
three
years
and
I
am
humbled
and
thrilled
to
be
selected
as
United
Way
stem
student
of
the
year.
Thank
you
all.
So
much.
I
I
I
From
the
start,
it
was
awesome,
I
learned
a
lot
my
first
year
there
and
it
was
a
lot
of
fun
too,
as
I
think
you'd
expect
I
learned
a
lot
about
how
to
program
robots
and
at
the
start,
I
had
a
lot
to
learn.
The
first
robot
I
programmed
was
supposed
to
move
forward
in
a
circle.
I
got
it
half
right,
it
went
in
a
circle
alright,
but
it
did
it
going
backwards.
I
I
I
I
During
my
second
year
in
the
Latino
stem
program,
I
was
put
on
a
new
team.
We
didn't
get
along
as
well
as
my
team,
the
first
year,
and
so
I
did
a
lot
of
work
by
myself
kind
of
isolating
myself
from
everyone
else.
I
didn't
really
speak
with
my
teammates
that
much
and
they
didn't
speak
all
that
much
with
me.
We
just
sort
of
did
her
own
thing.
I
I
I
Basically,
I
learned
that
it's
impossible
to
do
team
work
without
working
with
your
team,
all
the
time
and
being
responsible
to
each
other
for
your
individual
work.
I
am
excited
for
my
team
this
year.
This
year's
project
is
really
challenging.
We
have
to
program
a
robot
to
lift
some
things
as
high
as
18
inches
off
the
floor.
I
My
robotics
coach
for
the
past
three
years,
mr.
moose,
has
been
really
inspiring
and
been
a
mentor
to
me.
He
has
always.
He
is
always
encouraging
us
to
try
new
things
and
to
never.
Let
ourselves
believe
that
we
can't
do
something.
I
am
thrilled
that
he
is
here
today
sitting
at
the
table
in
front
of
me.
Please
give
him
a
round
of
applause.
I
I
Next
year,
I'm
going
to
be
a
freshman
in
high
school
I'm
planning
to
continue
to
take
stem
courses
and
also
I'm
really
excited
to
take
theater
courses
as
well.
I
didn't
know,
I,
don't
know
what
I
want
to
do
after
high
school,
yet
my
older
sister
is
going
to
college
next
year
to
study
to
be
a
veterinarian,
so
I
guess
the
stem
gene
runs
strong
in
our
family,
but
for
now,
I'm
just
excited
to
explore
new
things
and
keep
pushing
myself
to
be
the
best
person
that
I
can
be.
B
That
was
scientists,
technologists
engineer
and
mathematician
Anaya
benders
Thank
You
Anaya.
We
really
love
your
story
and
congratulations
for
being
our
stem
student
of
the
year
now
you're
going
to
hear
from
one
of
our
very
own
role
models
in
the
stem
community,
who
has
seen
firsthand
the
impact
corporate
partners
can
have
on
local
students.
Please
join
me
in
welcoming
United
Way
board
member
Jeff
Bray
of
rapid7.
J
That's
wrong
a
fantastic
job
Anaya
that
was
incredible.
My
name
is
Jeff
Bray
and
I'm,
a
member
of
the
United
Way
board
of
directors,
as
well
as
the
stem
Leadership
Committee.
Here
today,
as
you've
heard
many
times
before
the
STEM
industry.
Success
is
critical,
the
Massachusetts
economy
and
to
continue
and
to
expand
the
success.
We
must
help
students
like
Anaya
achieve
their
dreams.
We
must
build
the
bridge
between
the
Boston,
Public
Schools
and
our
booming
industries.
We
all
know
that
the
demand
for
stem
talent
continues
to
increase.
J
We
already
have
a
shortage
of
qualified
candidates,
I'm
a
statistics
nerd,
so
I
always
like
to
make
my
case
with
numbers.
For
example,
one
recent
report
estimated
that
by
2020
there
will
be
1
million
more
computing
jobs
than
applicants
who
can
fill
them
and
by
2022
there'll,
be
a
talent
gap
of
1.8
million
in
cybersecurity
alone
and
with
more
leading
companies
moving
to
and
expanding
in
Massachusetts
the
risk
grows
that
the
talent
gap
will
only
expand.
J
So
after
an
eye
is
presentation,
I'm
sure
you're,
all
asking
yourself
the
same
question:
when
does
she
graduate
from
college?
So
we
can
get
her
into
our
workforce
looking
forward
to
that
day
Anaya.
But,
of
course
the
real
question
is:
what
can
we
do
to
help
address
the
talent
gap
that
we're
facing
in
our
industries?
So
this
morning,
I'm
asking
you
to
help
us
change
his
path.
We've
heard
about
the
impact
of
vos
stem
can
have
by
providing
support
for
high
quality
out-of-school
programs
for
middle
schoolers
across
Boston.
J
J
Do
it
with
you
so
open
up
your
text,
message
app
and
write
a
message
to
4
1,
4,
4
4
and
in
the
message
type
in
UW
stem
UW,
ste
em
and
make
sure
it
doesn't
auto,
correct
and
then
put
in
the
dollar
amount
you
wish
to
pledge
and
then
put
your
name
in
and
if
you
just
want
to
be
anonymous,
go
ahead
and
put
that
in
as
well.
So
it's
safe
I
can
spell
my
own
name
correctly
and
shoot
that
off
great,
then
hit
Send.
Don't
forget
to
hit
Send,
please!
J
So
now
as
we're
doing
this,
let
me
show
share
with
you
what
this
can
mean
over
the
next
of
the
course
of
the
next
year.
We
want
to
reach
an
additional
2,000
students
and
bring
on
four
more
out
of
school
time
partners
to
meet
our
goals
so
to
reach
them.
We
need
your
help.
We
recognize
that
many
of
you
already
give
to
your
workplace
campaign
through
donor
advised
funds
or
with
your
family
and
we're
so
grateful
for
this.
J
J
$2,500
allows
us
to
provide
year-round
stem
field
trips
for
our
local
youth.
Oh
yeah,
that
I
have
witnessed
this
before.
We've
talked
a
lot
about
our
corporate
partners
working
with
the
youth,
and
it's
been
really
inspirational
to
me
to
see
how
the
students
respond
to
seeing
what
it's
like
work
for
a
technology
company
and
be
in
the
workforce
and
do
work.
That's
really
interesting,
but
it's
also
really
inspiring
to
see.
J
How
are
my
colleagues
engaged
with
the
students
and
loved
the
work
that
they
were
doing
and
how
much
they
talked
about
it
afterwards,
it's
a
great
way
to
engage
with
your
employees,
so
getting
all
the
way
to
25,000
can
really
help
us
grow
boss,
stem
signing
on
a
new
community
partner
and
allowing
us
to
significantly
expand
that
reach,
so
we're
getting
there.
Okay,
all
right
that
the
networks,
obviously
loaded
with
your
text
messages.
So
this
is
great
and
we'll
keep
taking
your
donations
throughout
the
program
and
remember
every
dollar
counts.
So,
thank
you
all
now.
L
M
N
Hi
everyone
Jessica
Gelman
I'm,
the
CEO
of
kegger
craft
analytics
group
and
so
I
played
basketball
at
Harvard
and
when
I
was
in
school.
I
study
was
always
very
fascinated
with
how
people
perform
well
at
the
end
of
games.
What
are
the
characteristics
of
people
who
are
really
successful?
So
Michael
Jordan
was
the
person
that
I
looked
at
because
I
grew
up
outside
of
Chicago,
so
when
I
was
in
college,
I
actually
ran
a
bunch
of
experiments.
N
Psychology
trying
to
understand
the
who
does
well,
who
doesn't-
and
it
was
obviously
very
statistically
heavy,
so
I'm
the
M
in
stem
and
and
that
really
started
my
fascination
with
data
and
analytics,
which
is
now
obviously
what
we
do
in
the
sports
and
entertainment
industry.
We
are
a
spin
out
of
the
craft
sports
group,
which
is
obviously
they're
doing
on
Patriot's
Wow.
O
Good
morning
everybody,
my
name
is
Paul
Sagan
I'm,
a
partner
at
General,
Catalyst
partners,
and
before
that
I
was
CEO
of
Akamai
Technologies,
so
I
ran
a
math
company
for
which
I
was
completely
unqualified,
so
I
give
hope
to
all
the
liberal
arts
people
I
had
I
was
the
liberal
arts
person.
The
last
time
I
took
a
stem
class,
was
really
in
high
school
I
learned
to
program
using
punch
cards
and
Fortran.
O
So
almost
the
dark
ages,
but
I
had
a
accidental
transition
from
one
career
as
a
journalist
to
running
a
math
based
company,
because
I
was
interested
in
how
technology
changed,
businesses
and
I
think
it
gives
hope
to
almost
anybody
or
maybe
inspiration
that
you
should
keep
moving
towards
a
stable
career
because
stem
keep
changing
almost
every
business.
Then
it's
out
there
today.
M
And
that's
great
inspiration
for
the
young
people
in
thinking
about
its
career,
sometimes
I
think
when
you
see
that
50%
drop
off
what
happens
the
eighth
grade
is
that
they
think,
oh,
you
know
I'm
not
good
at
math
or
it's
boring
or
it's,
but
really
we
have
you
know
cybersecurity.
We
have
sports
entertainment,
the
industries
that
you
all
have
worked
in
in
different
places
in
your
career.
So
really
the
possibilities
are
endless
and,
as
you
said,
Paul
it's
really
sometimes
accidental,
but
really
Stemmons
is
intrinsic
and
everything
we
do
is
so.
M
The
importance
of
being
engaged
in
that
is
is
tremendous.
So
maybe
talk
about
a
little
bit.
What
to
each
of
you
see
the
biggest
growth
opportunities,
because
again
you
are
in
a
variety
of
different
fields,
but
all
that
have
that's
those
roots
and
stem.
So
what
do
you
see
the
biggest
growth
opportunities
in
the
STEM
fields
over
say
the
next
25
years?
Big
question
Jessica
want
to
start
sure.
N
Well,
I
mean,
first
and
foremost,
you
know
working
with
the
crafts
who
are
innovators
and
leaders
in
kind
of
being
at
the
forefront.
The
fact
that
we
chose
to
spin
out
this
company
two
years
ago
is
really
significant,
so
just
it
with
with
data,
in
particular,
ninety
percent
of
all
of
the
data
and
information
that
we
used
today
has
been
created
in
the
last
two
years,
and
the
amount
of
data
that
we're
going
to
create
is
gonna
double
again
in
the
next
two
years
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
N
So
this
challenge
of
kind
of
capturing
data,
analyzing
data
using
technology
to
integrate
and
use
that
information
to
make
an
informed
decision,
critical,
so
I
think,
first
and
foremost,
is
going
to
be
the
technology
and
obviously
people
hiring.
We
are
actively
hiring
and
growing
as
a
business,
and
the
other
component
is
the
security
side.
N
According
I
were
just
chatting
a
little
bit
about
that,
but
all
of
our
information
is
kind
of
out
there,
and
so
folks,
like
us,
we're
helping
T
and
leagues
and
folks
in
the
sports
space,
create
a
better
experience
for
you
guys
on
game
days
or
when
you're
trying
to
learn
more
about
your
favorite
teams.
The
Philadelphia
76ers
are
clients
of
ours
and
using
data
to
make
your
experiences
better
and
that
that
component
of
using
data
is
just
going
to
increase
at
a
really
rapid
pace
over
the
next
few
years.
L
About
me
about
what
you
see
yes,
I
think
cybersecurity
is,
you
know,
increasingly
part
of
the
fabric
I
think
of
what
it
takes
to
actually
have
a
society
that
relies
more
on
technology.
If
you're
gonna
allow
more
technology,
you
want
to
make
sure
that
the
technology
doesn't
do
harm,
and
so
that
creates
a
massive
opportunity.
It's
Jeff
ray
quoted
some
of
the
stats
about
the
big
gap
in
jobs
in
cybersecurity.
I
would
say
that
it's
one
both
around
the
world,
but
specifically
in
the
u.s..
L
M
O
Let
me
take
this
from
a
different
angle,
because
they've
really
talked
about
the
demand
side
and
I.
Think
it's
really
clear.
There
are
gonna,
be
lots
and
lots
of
jobs
and
jobs
that
we
struggle
to
fill
on
the
technology
side.
So
let
me
talk
about
the
supply
side
for
a
second,
because
I
wear
a
different
hat.
Actually,
the
last
three
and
a
half
years,
I've
chaired
the
State
Board
of
elementary
and
secondary
education
and
I
know
that
the
bps
people
sorrow,
know
the
regulator's.
Here,
it's
not
today's
topic.
I
want
to
share
that.
O
We
are
going
to
hit
the
25th
anniversary
of
a
concerted
effort
in
this
state
to
perform
a
different
miracle,
which
was
to
change
public
education
and
25
years
ago.
Massachusetts
was
in
the
middle
of
the
pack
around
the
country
and
25
years
later
now
we
lead
the
nation.
We
have
the
best
public
schools
in
the
country.
Now
to
the
sports
analogy,
I
like
to
say
we're
really
fortunate
we
get
to
play
in
a
soso
league,
measured
against
the
other
49
states.
Some
of
them
are
pretty
crummy
at
this.
O
O
We
have
lifted
up
thousands
and
thousands
of
kids
to
a
level
that
says
they
can
compete
for
jobs
here
and
everywhere.
We've
also
learned
that
we
can
educate
everybody
wherever
you
come
from
the
problem.
Is
we
don't
yet?
So
the
answer
by
and
large
of
how
well
you'll
get
educated
here
is,
is
known
by
your
zip
code
and
that's
the
thing
we
still
have
to
fix.
O
But
we
know
we
can
do
it
because
across
the
city
in
Boston,
across
communities
in
the
Commonwealth
we
take
kids
of
all
varieties
all
genders
and
all
backgrounds
and
many
of
them
can
achieve
at
the
highest
level.
So
we
know
what
we
have
to
do
and
we've
proven
that
we
can
do
it
and
if
we're
determined-
and
we
don't
take
another
25
years
in
this
effort-
the
supply
will
meet
the
demand
with
kids
from
our
own
community.
O
For
these
jobs
and
I
think
that
one
of
the
people
can
think
about
is
they
leave
here
is
how
can
you
inspire
more
schools?
How
can
you
inspire
young
people
to
teach
them
with
a
huge
shortage
of
stem
teachers
in
middle
school?
Because
all
of
you
want
to
hire
people
who
know
stem
or
a
lot
of
money,
maybe
you'll
hotmai
be
they'll,
go
to
the
University
or
high
school.
O
N
We
actually
have
a
huge
percentage
of
high
school
students
who
come
to
the
conference
and
so
I
think
providing
those
forms.
That
is
easy
for
people
to
relate
to,
and
obviously
folks
like
sports.
But
what
are
the
other
things
that
we
could
be
thinking
about?
Applying
science
and
analytics
and
engineering
so
like
arts
is
an
area
for
example,
that
I
think
is
really
underserved.
M
M
Gonna
get
to
that
a
minute
in
a
couple
of
minutes
and
just
get
to
your
specifics
on
what
can
about
what
can
business
school
and
parents
do
to
build
stem
but
talk
to
us
a
little
bit
just
about
your
own
organizations
or
the
various
organizations
you've
been
involved
in
and
what
were
some
of
the
challenges
that
you
faced,
because
you
hope
these
young
people
want
to
get
involved
in
stem
and
maybe
building
grow
companies,
and
so
what
were
some
of
the
challenges
of
corn?
Maybe
you
could
start
you
know?
L
I
think
there's
sort
of
like
to
ask
someone
you
actually
have
to
hire
people
which
is
sorta
like
finding
people,
hiring
people
I
would
say
the
other
one
that
relates
I,
think
partially
to
the
drop-off
that
you
actually
see
in
stem
it's
the
one
that
we
actually
face.
It's
I
think
somehow
we
created
a
an
education
system,
that's
about
filtering
and
that's
about
checking
the
box
and
about
sort
of
what
grade
do
I
get,
and
what
we
find
is
that
we
have
lots
of
students.
L
This
come
to
us,
even
when
we
find
them
that
are
very
much
of
a
mentality
about
have
I
checked
the
box.
If
I
got
the
grade
and
it
feels
like
the
curiosity
has
been
actually
beating
out
and
I
think
that
that
is
both
a
negative
for
society
attack.
We
have
a
society
that
has
more
focus
about
how
do
I
actually
have
the
optics
of
giving
the
right
grade
and
then
actually
been
curious
about
learning
and
I.
L
Think
that
that
also
is
partially
the
reason
why
people
lack
interest
in
some
of
the
areas,
I
would
say
the
way
it
impacts
our
organization.
Is
that
lots
of
the
stuff
around
sort
of
like
science
and
innovation
is
about
be
learning,
because,
frankly,
you
have
a
whole
lot
of
failure
a
long
way,
and
so
what
we
find
is
that
we
have
to
do
lots
of
the
reprogramming
around
sort
of
the
attitudes
towards
failure
and
the
attitudes
towards
getting
an
A
and
say
aids
are
not
the
goal.
L
The
goal
is
actually
to
learn
and
actually
do
some
of
the
best
learning
in
the
world.
You
actually
get
a
whole
range
of
sort
of,
like
you
know,
AE
s,
B,
C's,
DS
and
EPS,
and
the
question
is:
what
do
you
learn
from
those
and
I
think
that
you
know
for
me,
I
think
and
I
see
that
first
thing
with
my
own
kids
there
in
school
is
that
so
focused
on
just
giving
the
A's.
M
N
N
They
can
and
should
do
and
I
think
you
know
you
mentioned
Paul
that
you
study,
liberal
arts
in
school
I
think
there
needs
to
be
this
healthy
blend
of
both
the
you
know,
science
and
analytics
side
of
what
we're
doing,
but
also
this
kind
of
innate,
your
curiosity,
but
also
wanting
to
own
and
make
a
difference
and
make
a
change
and
kind
of
recognizing
that
it's
on
each
of
us
and
I.
Don't
really
have
like
a
great
solution
for
how
to
do
it,
except
you
know,
to
encourage
people
to
take
risks.
N
M
O
Sure
and
try
to
make
it
actionable
for
people.
So
so
we
heard
the
inspiring
message
from
from
the
mayor
and
from
Ron
about
the
power
of
Education
and
really
I.
Think
the
comments
and,
what's
embedded
in
some
of
the
legitimate
criticism
of
the
system,
is
we
have
an
agrarian
schedule
applied
to
an
industrial
model
right,
so
schools
are
an
assembly
line
and
the
Vintage
of
the
product
is
your
birth
year
and
we
put
down
the
conveyor
and.
O
And
you're
stamped
12th
grade
with
the
date
right
and
the
schedule
is
agrarian.
So
you
get
the
summers
off
and
you're
done
early
in
the
afternoon,
so
you
can
go.
Do
chores
on
the
farm
and
we've
been
locked
into
these.
This
combination
for
a
long
time,
but
the
kinds
of
programs
that
you
heard
that
you
heard
Jeff
talked
about
or
that
Boston
is
sponsoring,
can
fill
in
these
other
things.
O
So
the
afternoons
in
the
summers
and
we
can
find
ways
to
break
the
monotony
or
the
or
the
schedule
and
inspire
young
people
and
help
them
realize
that
there
are
great
careers
in
stem
and
they
may
be
a
bench
scientist.
They
may
be
a
PhD
mathematician
or
they
may
be
simply
somebody
who
works
in
the
company.
The
war
for
talent
we
have
is
not
just
for
those
jobs
and
certainly
we're
fighting
for
the
the
best
brains
on
the
science
and
but
they're
who
staffs
accounts
payable,
who
works
in
sales.
O
M
You
know
I
mentioned
and-
and
we
heard
earlier,
that
you
know
interest
in
STEM-
subjects
dropped
by
50%
in
middle
school,
which
is
which
is
really
a
tough
stick
and
higher
for
girls
absolutely,
and
so
what
do
you
think?
Let's?
Maybe
if
we
just
talk
from
your
perspective,
about
what
what
we've
heard
some
of
the
great
things
that
vertex
is
doing
some,
what
other
companies
are
doing?
What
can
industry
do
to
help
increase
the
interest
in
stem?
M
O
Experience
has
been
open
your
doors
to
students
into
teachers.
Let
them
come
in
and
effectively
see
opportunities.
These
are
pretty
vague
careers
to
young
people
right.
They
exist
in
these
bland
buildings
and
we
we
use
bad
language
about
them
to
oh
they're,
nerdy
and
things
like
that
and
they're,
not
cool.
O
Well,
people
need
to
come
and
say
that
they're
really
cool
and
they're
really
interesting
and
you
get
paid
really
well
to
do
them
too,
and
then
kids
lighten
up
about
it
and-
and
you
can
see
the
spark
come
on
and
the
real
importance
and
the
gender
thing
is
really
important
in
middle
school.
We
have
to
change
the
way
we
talk
to
young
people,
girls
and
boys,
about
who
can
do
these
jobs.
We
should
have
no
expectation
that
you
can't
do
it
and
that's
the
kind
of
vocabulary.
O
M
Think
also
what
you
said
earlier
just
quickly.
You
mentioned
the
teachers
as
well
companies
opening
their
doors
to
teachers.
There
are
companies
that
have
programs
where
they
encourage
the
teachers
to
get
in
and
get
excited
and
learn
what's
really
going
on
outside
their
schools
so
that
they
can
bring
it
to
the
students
as
well
poor,
guys.
L
L
N
I
mean
I
think
obviously
being
prominently
in
the
sports
entertainment
space.
We
do
host
a
lot
of
schools
that
are
coming
down.
I,
think
it's
been
pretty
fascinating.
How
many
just
eight
colleges,
BC
MIT,
there's
a
bunch
of
different
schools,
Harvard
that
have
actually
started
specific,
analytics,
related
programs
at
this
point
in
time,
I
think
continuing
to
focus
on
that.
N
I
have
I,
have
two
young
boys,
and
you
know
I
talked
to
them
a
lot
about
what
what
weather
is
and
why
it's
coming
and
how
it
changes
and
I
think
we're
making
it
easy
for
kids
to
relate
to
it.
Obviously,
they're
sports
fans
as
well,
and
you
know
what
we
what
we
hear
about
players
doing
is
something
that
kids
really
relate
to
and
I
think
we
need
to
continue
to
make.
You
know
science
and
math,
and
technology,
fun
and
I.
Think
you
know
whatever
that
mechanism
is
that's
more
of
a
story
is
really
critical.
M
B
So
I
want
to
thank
the
panel
again
Carolyn
Cory
Jessica
Paul.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
insights.
We
are
going
to
close
out
for
this
morning
and
before
we
do,
can
we
get
the
electronic
tote
board?
Are
these
things
still
call
it
tote
boards?
That's
like
a
Jerry
Lewis
thing,
but
all
right.
Eighteen
thousand
dollars.
B
Mathematicians
18
is
not
25,
so
I
want
to
encourage
you
to
keep
giving
so
that
we
can
hit
our
goal
of
$25,000.
You
will
also
notice
on
your
tables
that
there
is
a
card
that
you
can
fill
out
to
indicate
the
role
that
you
want
to
play
in
the
Boston
movement.
I
encourage
you
to
fill
this
card
out,
but
also
to
continue
to
be
imaginative
about
the
role
that
you
can
play.
B
Ten
seas
also
consider
letting
teachers
into
your
workplaces
so
that
they
understand
the
skills
that
you
value
and
can
turn
them
into
curricula.
We
are
doing
this
work
with
Autodesk
and
we're
about
to
do
this
work
with
the
Federal
Reserve
boards
IT
department
as
well.
There
are
many
many
roles
that
you
can
play
so
please
check
the
box.
Let
us
know
what
role
you
want
to
play:
we're
getting.
There
should
I,
lock
the
doors
I
that
may
be
against
the
law.
B
We
won't
lock
the
doors,
but
I
want
to
encourage
you
to
give
you've
got
the
information
that
you
need.
Please
take
a
few
minutes
to
tell
us
the
role
that
you
want
to
play.
We
thank
you
for
being
here
this
morning.
I
want
to
thank
the
United
Way
team,
especially
Mike
Dirk
and
Carly
Osceola,
and
all
my
friends
who
make
this
possible
here.
We
want
to
recognize
again
Jeff
Lydon
and
we
want
to
recognize
miss
Ania,
benders.
