Katie Ledecky - 82lsju - 01-10-2020

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

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.
