SQL Saturday 201 Orange County team held a PASS WIT Panel session on Apr 20, 2013. The topic was "Inspiring Youth To Pursue STEM Education". In this session, we had Mickey Stuewe as the moderator of  4 amazing panelists: Amy Jaffke, Lynn Langit, Stacia Misner and Wisdom Lu. We were joined by not only SQL Saturday attendees, but also youth in the audience! The interactive discussions with the audience and panelists encompassed what we could do as parents or adults to get youth excited about STEM and existing programs that can nurture STEM education.
