The Renewable Energy Advancement for Detroit Youth (READY) program is based on strong evidence that immersion experiences in technology, physical science and engineering are an effective approach toward providing students with the experiential knowledge necessary for future science and engineering success.
Dr. Bush was a panelist and speaker at the Girls to Women Conference where 128 girls in 8th-12th grade participated in different activities throughout the day to strengthen their leadership abilities.
