Jay Flores on TED Talks: Discovering STEM
As a Global Science Technology
Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Ambassador, Jay Flores knows just how
important
STEM is to the future of the world. He’s spreading the word through his
energizing presentations and outreach to schools, community groups and
industry
experts. The power of STEM, Jay advocates, can help young girls and boys
become
super heroes, solve big (and little) problems and contribute their best
ideas
to improve our planet. As a top level OCR athlete, he is also capable
of speaking on the subject of training, racing and inspiring the next
generation.
Rachel Watters has visited Lionhearts OCR in person and Evan
Perperis has done a zoom call with the kids to teach them about fitness,
motivation and life lessons in general. The Lionhearts OCR Group is
non-profit that is helping build future racers near
Chattanooga, Tennessee that is 100% volunteers, 100% donations and 100%
community driven that describes their mission statement as:
To empower our youth to face fears and conquer obstacles, knowing their worth, building self-worth as well as becoming stronger physically. Obstacle Racing, particularly in team racing, develops community, unity, strength and empowerment by helping others. No one is left out, left behind.
Evan Perperis has spoken at more than
half a dozen schools since 2006 talking about military life,
deployments, Middle Eastern culture/experiences and fitness.
This
includes speaking at fellow Pro's school Randi Lackey's class
in Fairview, OK and talking on Veteran's Day at Riley County Grade
School in Kansas.
