Congratulations to Monroe High School senior-to-be Katelyn Tayler, who will participate in the  Congress of Future Science and Technology Leaders in Lowell, Massachusetts, starting Wednesday and running through Friday of this week. 

The Congress is an honors-only program for high school students who are passionate about science, technology, engineering or mathematics.  The event is to honor, inspire, motivate and direct the country’s top students who aspire to be scientists and technologists, to stay true to their dreams and, after the event, to provide a path, plan and resources to help them reach their goals.

               Katey was nominated by the winner of the first Google Science Fair, Shree Bose, academic director of the National Academy of Future Scientists and Technologists, to represent Monroe based on her academic achievement, leadership potential and passion for science and technology.

               During the three-day Congress, Katy will join students from across the country and hear Nobel Laureates and National Medal of Science winners talk about leading scientific research, be given advice from deans of the world’s top tech universities, be inspired by fellow teen science prodigies, and learn about cutting-edge advances and the future of science and technology.

Katey is only the second high school student from Monroe County to be invited to the Congress.  Last year her MHS Class of 2017 classmate, Sven Woelschlaeger, participated in the same event.
