Quote:Her sport is all numbers and physics, and Katie Ledecky has always enjoyed breaking down her swims, using video and technology to help engineer the fastest race possible. In and out of the pool, the five-time Olympic champion has long immersed herself in science, technology, engineering and math, and in the months leading to the Summer Olympics, she’s hoping to use her platform to get young people excited about the subjects as well.
With fewer than 200 days to go until the Tokyo Games, Ledecky took a brief break from training to attend CES, one of the world’s largest technology conferences, where she announced a new online program aimed at middle school students, encouraging them to pursue careers in STEM fields. She partnered with Panasonic to launch the “Dive into STEM Education” initiative, which will debut in five cities this year, including Washington, where the 22-year old Ledecky was born

Good for her!
Thanks for the non-paywall link. This is really cool. My daughter is getting involved in ed-tech and will be very interested in this.
