Kennedy took a Girl Scout Troop experience and created a STEM program, with a special focus on minorities in STEM.
More from Kennedy:
Hello, my name is Kennedy Watkins. I am the founder of Gilded Teas, an organic loose-leaf tea company. My company's mission is to encourage minorities to join the STEM and agriculture fields. During high school,
I was a part of One Laptop Per Child my sophomore year and along with other girls, created lesson plans to teach elementary students how to code in Barbados as my May program. I wanted to continue to introduce more people to the STEM field. In my Junior year, I began working on my Gold Award, the highest award recognized by a Girl Scout. The project was influenced by my time in Barbados. I created my own lesson plans and I'm sharing them with teachers. Currently, I am a Computer Science major, and this past year I didn't see many females of color in my classes. I wanted to grow an audience for my message so that I could reach more people and grow more awareness. I want to use my company's platform to teach a new audience about this. Gilded Teas targets health-conscious tea drinkers who before learning of my company were unaware of the stem field from a minority perspective.
