Debra Roy is a staff engineer for General Atomics Aeronautical Systems and president of the board for the Elementary Institute of Science, a local nonprofit providing STEM programming and education for kids from underrepresented communities
Debra Roy has learned a lot in her life from the people who nurtured and encouraged her interests and curiosities. It helped her along the path to earn degrees in physics, electrical engineering and technology management. Along the way, it’s been important to her to do the same for others by promoting and working with kids to encourage them in science, technology, engineering, art and math.
“Investing in our future with all that I have is important to me. These students have the answers to questions we haven’t even thought about asking, so I want to enable the continued flow of knowledge and sharing for all,” she says. “STEM facilitate this kind of equity and sustainability.”, she has the opportunity to do this on a regular basis.
We collaborate with schools, parents, businesses and community partners to engage students in hands-on science learning. Our after-school, weekend and school partnership programs broaden access to STEM education, foster critical thinking, expand technical skills and encourage students to pursue STEM careers. Our programs are focused on underserved students between 7 and 17 years old, in southeastern San Diego, where our 15,000-square-foot STEM learning center is located.
In 11th grade, my physics teacher in Baton Rouge, La., made the difference in my life. I was always good at math, but Miss Vertle T. Jones brought physics to life. Until then, I was destined to be an interior decorator — she changed the whole trajectory of my life. Then, during my senior year of high school, the chair of the physics department at Southern University visited my family and offered me a scholarship. I remember him asking my parents to allow me to attend college and live on campus.
