A tsunami, a girl, and the power of STEMM education
During the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami disaster, one young girl was able to save at least 100 lives by recognizing the impending cataclysm based on what she had learned in a recent geography class. Her story is a reminder of the power of STEMM education and a testament to strong girls everywhere.
