She loves all science but is especially interested in astrophysics. Julie produces a YouTube channel, 7 Sage Labs, where she posts videos for her shows. Supernova Style Science News is where she shares interesting science news with everyone, THE STEAM SHOP where she reviews science-based toys/kits and shows how to make things, SciFacts where Julie shares quick facts about diverse topics, and Sage Lab Notes is her vlog that can cover any topic. Her goal is to increase interest in science, technology, engineering, art, and math through her show and other various outreach activities. Her love of science started early, where at the age of 6 she told her parents that she wanted to follow in the footsteps of Dr. Stephen Hawking and Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson in studying black holes, exo-planets, quasars, etc. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61469d53918044012d2cd3cc/1632711869559-NNFO75RC8B5IIM4FZADE/WomenInSpace_ASU_Feb2019.jpg Julie Seven Sage - In 2019, there were more great opportunities and achievements for Julie. She was asked to be a speaker at the Women In Space conference held at Arizona State University. Julie was also asked to be one of the presenters at a local school or their STEM Day event. Julie was on her high school’s Science Olympiad team. At the state competition her and her partner placed 3rd in Astronomy and 4th in the Mousetrap Vehicle competition. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61469d53918044012d2cd3cc/1632712228707-B0UWNDF6BZG9GP4YM4XZ/Julie_Satellite2020.jpg Julie Seven Sage - Julie was asked to be a panelist at Satellite2020 in March of 2020 in Washington D.C. The panel she was to be a part of was Via Satellite's ON ORBIT Podcast LIVE!: Gen Z & Millennial Visions for Space. Unfortunately due to the outbreak of SARS-COV-2 (COVID19) her panel, along with all others scheduled that same day, were cancelled. She did get to attend a number of panels and the keynote event featuring Elon Musk. Julie was selected to ask Elon a question. Her question dealt with what can businesses and governments do to help the younger generation afford to go to college. Due to the cancellation of the panel at Satellite2020, On Orbit Podcast interviewed Julie in June about her experiences in being a young scientist in the world of today. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61469d53918044012d2cd3cc/1632711161636-O3ZIUBN66ZGCH8ARRRKP/Julie-Sage_TMG24Under24.jpg Julie Seven Sage - 2018 was a very busy year for Julie. It started early with Julie winning a spot on The Mars Generation's list for "24 Under 24 Leaders and Innovators in STEAM and Space Award". She also won 2nd place in the National Science Foundation's Generation Nano: Superheroes Inspired by Science comic contest. Julie, along with other Boston area high school students, was a part of the very first program of the MIT Media Lab's Climate CubeSat Co-Building Outreach Program (C3), where they worked on designing, building, and launching a cube sat. Julie was announced as the NH State Merit Winner for the Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge for her invention, the Sage Survival System. Along with her friends, Allie Weber, Taylor Richardson, and Jordan Reeves, she founded The STEAM Squad, a group of teenage scientists, STEM activists, makers, and inventors. They support and promote each other. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61469d53918044012d2cd3cc/1632712535587-BMQ8YEWYRSLV3DMBEDJH/CIS_2021_Balloon.png Julie Seven Sage - Again in 2020 Julie took part in the Cubes In Space program and won 2 spots for experiments on the NASA sounding rocket and 1 spot for an experiment on the high altitude balloon. Unfortunately due to COVID19 both launches were cancelled. All experiments were carried over to 2021. Bad luck hit again in June 2021, the package containing all of the experiments to be flown on the NASA sounding rocket was lost and not found until weeks after the launch date. Cubes In Space will hold on to the experiments for launch in 2022. The high altitude balloon did launch in August 2021 attached to NASA’s Salter Test Flight, Julie was excited to see the balloon fly!

Jordan was born with a left arm that stopped growing just before the elbow. She is not alone. There are a little more than 2,000 kids born each year in the U.S. with a limb difference. When Jordan was born, her parents didn’t know about limb differences. But the story in the family is, when she arrived in the world her dad said that she was born “just right” because she was just right the way she is and she’s just right-handed. The phrase stuck. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61469d53918044012d2cd3cc/1632969111080-BA4O43CEWOMDPQEH44DO/Jordan+younger+with+prototype+of+first+Proj+Unicorn+%28Photo_+Jen+Lee+Reeves%29.jpg Jordan Reeves - While still in elementary school, Jordan’s experiences turned into the perfect storm when she was invited to create a superhero persona and build something fun to add to her arm at a workshop for kids with limb differences. Jordan decided she wanted to be “Glitter Girl” and came up with a glitter-shooting prosthetic concept. As she worked with a design partner to create new and better iterations on the idea she named “Project Unicorn,” Jordan’s work caught the attention of many news outlets including Fast Company and Popular Science. Jordan had opportunities to present her invention to Maker Faire events, schools, scout meetings, and even received a Disney Parks Dream Big Princess Innovation Award. The interest in her Project Unicorn work grew even bigger after getting the chance to show off her design to the Shark Tank investors during an episode of The Rachael Ray Show in 2017. Around the same time, Jordan noticed that American Girl doll had been creating wheelchairs and crutches, dolls without hair and insulin kits to support kids with disabilities. It confirmed what Jordan already knew, that kids want to see themselves in their toys. She thought if they can provide those types of accessories why shouldn’t they offer dolls with limb differences too? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61469d53918044012d2cd3cc/1632969349456-H7QTO1IL4CUKMIAH9GJO/Jordan+and+Barbie+Pic+2+%28Photog_+Jen+Lee+Reeves%29.jpeg Jordan Reeves - Given her design insight, Jordan has had opportunities to consult with major brands, speaking at the National AIGA Design conference and the Strategic Design Conference at Parsons Design School. She also had the opportunity to consult with Mattel on the creation of its first doll with a limb difference. Mattel honored her with a one-of-a-kind doll that looks just like Jordan! In the Summer of 2019, Jordan and her mom released their first book, Born Just Right, for teens through Simon and Schuster’s Aladdin and Jeter Publishing imprints. The book is a memoir about Jordan’s life, experiences and lessons learned from growing up with a disability. She wanted to write a book to encourage more open discussions about disability. That same summer, Jordan and three other young people launched a youth design consultancy, Make Just Right, to make sure other alumni of the BOOST workshops can give input to companies and organizations in need of design perspectives and input. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61469d53918044012d2cd3cc/1633148200289-TQXMZYLV0RI9EMHFZNDP/fb-f-logo__blue_50.png Jordan Reeves -

With the Astronomy Group, Apolo participated in several promotional and informational events of the MONOCUBE tour, in which, on a stage, she had to explain in front of an audience of more than 300 high school students, what her team learned when launching an experiment in space, and how did they analyze the results after the flight. Ivanna has also done introductory training in software programming, sensors, and the construction of robots with the Robotic Foundation of the Caribbean (picture 20). There she built a car with which she competed along with other children, doing races and a football competition with the robots. In October 2017 she traveled to the city of Bucaramanga to attend the first international meeting of scientific disseminators organized by the Industrial University of Santander (UIS), where she was able to personally meet national disseminators such as Santiago Vargas who has a PhD in Astrophysics, international scientist Luis Núñez from Venezaela who is the director of the Halley research group of the UIS university, and Javier Santaolalla from Spain who is a doctor in particle physics and a famous scientific youtuber. On this occasion, she had the opportunity to personally interview Javier Santaolalla for the YouTube channel of her school, and he also gave her his autograph. Ivanna had the opportunity to meet Javier Santaolalla more recently on her 15th birthday (August 7th), where Javier was the guest of honor at a formal lunch to celebrate. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61469d53918044012d2cd3cc/1633035732016-XYWL1WSOSE5EK4HV1LHM/Picture5.jpg Ivanna Hernandez - She did internships with a research group at Magdalena University, where she learned how to search and collect tardigrades in their natural habitat and the processing of these samples in the laboratory. Later, Ivanna also had the opportunity to learn physics at the university. In 2017 she participated in the Cubes in Space contest being part of the first group of Colombians to send experiments to space. This contest consists of developing an experiment that is sent to space in a suborbital flight in a NASA sounding rocket. Prior to the trip to Nasa Wallops, Ivanna was interviewed the television program Hoy es el día of the regional channel of the Colombian Caribbean coast, Telecaribe, where she talked about the development of the experiments that she was going to send and the trip that she was going to take. She traveled in June 2017 to NASA Goddard Space Flight Center's Wallops Flight Facility where she could see the launch of the experiments designed by the Apolo team, of which she is part. She gave a presentation to a group of 175 people that included personnel of NASA, representatives of the aerospace industry, parents and other students from 5 other countries. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61469d53918044012d2cd3cc/1633037157412-MODCBYTL9MG7BKISS52C/Picture25.jpg Ivanna Hernandez - Ivanna has taken astronomy classes at Sergio Arboleda University, where she learned about the physics behind each celestial object, how to use a celestial chart and made several astronomical observations. At age of 14, she took her first physics course at a university level online through edx.org called Gravitational Waves of the University of Córdoba-Spain. She passed the class with a 100% grade. She learned about Einstein's relativity, gravitational waves, neutron stars, black holes and the holographic principle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61469d53918044012d2cd3cc/1633037458161-13SHUGXI7XL1J7S00U3V/Picture26.jpg Ivanna Hernandez - This was an exceptional experience for her as she was able to fly in an airplane as a co-pilot, experience flying in a helicopter, and she could expand her knowledge of aviation and the aerospace industry. Classes were held in traditional classrooms, simulators and real planes. The instructions covered the history of aviation (including the role of African-Americans in aviation), the introduction to aerodynamics, meteorology, and navigation; flight simulator guidance, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61469d53918044012d2cd3cc/1633035306989-T615OH3FWBEV02QV52LJ/Picture4.jpg Ivanna Hernandez - Ivanna Hernandez Ramirez, 17 years old, was born in Villanueva, a town in La Guajira, Colombia, and she currently lives in Santa Marta. She loves all science but she is especially interested in aerospace engineering, and becoming a pilot. She wants to be an astronaut and the first Latin American woman to travel to the planet Mars. She likes to learn new things and make new friends, she is passionate about physics, astronomy, reading, writing, drawing and she especially admires Japanese culture. Her native language is Spanish, but she has an advanced level of English, can speak and interpret the Japanese language at a basic level, and she also learns French at school. Ivanna Margarita Hernández belongs to the Apolo Astronomy Group, as a volunteer since June 2016 where she is one of the most active members in helping underprivileged children in vulnerable communities developing their love and passion for science and capture the imagination of other students. She is an admirer of Diana Trujillo and Adriana Ocampo, who with their work in the aerospace industry and at NASA have brought a bright spotlight onto Colombia in the industry. Ivanna dreams of one day knowing them personally and being able to learn from them and their experience. Her interest in science started when she was eleven years old and first saw Cosmos, the National Geographic program, specifically the most recent version presented by Neil https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61469d53918044012d2cd3cc/1633037906236-U1031X7JTB2UZTCZZ9DF/Picture33.jpg Ivanna Hernandez - From July 15 to July 20, 2018, she attended to the National Flight Academy in Pensacola, Florida, USA, where students got to gain experience aboard the largest simulated aircraft carrier in the world.

She is currently fully dual enrolled at Florida Atlantic University (credit equivalent of a college junior) while being a senior in high school. She is pursuing her B.S. in Management Information Technology. Hannah created an ocean energy probe prototype that seeks to offer a stable power source to developing countries by using untapped energy from ocean currents. This innovation was inspired by Hannah's desire to help her nine-year-old pen-pal living in Sub-Saharan Africa, where many people live in energy poverty with sporadic or no access to electricity. In addition, Hannah has explored early identification methods for hazardous airborne chemicals in collaboration with I-SENSE at Florida Atlantic University, and is currently studying the properties of shark skin for medical applications at the Florida Atlantic Biomechanics (FAB) Lab. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61469d53918044012d2cd3cc/1633233344718-SGRWUU68U9IIY79BSKJ0/twitter_logo_white_on_blue.jpg Hannah Herbst - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61469d53918044012d2cd3cc/1633233368114-922EZEEW7TNTL7GYRCVX/Instagram_glyph-logo_May2016_white.png Hannah Herbst - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.thesteamsquad.org/gabriella-white daily 0.75 2021-12-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61469d53918044012d2cd3cc/fa2ad1ad-36db-4f99-834b-2a3bce7f4c51/IMG_0557.jpeg Gabriella White - A.R.C.H.Y or Architecture Reaching Communities Helping to Inspire Youth Gabriella White is a Social Entrepreneur, STEAM activist, and the founder and CEO of ARCHY.

For her fourth grade science project, she re-purposed electronics that were heading for the trash into useful objects - Portable speakers, LED flash lights and saved a laptop by installing a lightweight linux OS on it. In fifth grade she did research on oxalis stricta, performing a MS Media Modulation on the plant to determine it’s nutritional needs, a key first step in studying any plant. During this project, she realized the need to automate adding the liquid plant food, control the lights as well as take pictures. The following year, she developed the WaterBot to make hacking plants easier. This ‘plant control system’ allows the user to control how much plant food, water, heat and light a plant receives. It also takes time lapse photos to help scientists study the plant as it grows. At DEF CON 26 she did a talk on this device at the BioHacking Village. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61469d53918044012d2cd3cc/1633234968902-RX10AE38HRU7T2GDSJEA/twitter_logo_white_on_blue.jpg BiaSciLab - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61469d53918044012d2cd3cc/1633235017761-1ISWMFWDCYWBJECQJPO3/website_logo.jpg BiaSciLab - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61469d53918044012d2cd3cc/1633234991997-TY9C7JK4W2V3R0UEVTO4/Instagram_glyph-logo_May2016_white.png BiaSciLab - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.thesteamsquad.org/kaitlyn-ludlam daily 0.75 2021-12-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61469d53918044012d2cd3cc/1633235339318-Q0XQ09DPD2LMKF4LBVXX/Kaitlyn7.jpg Kaitlyn Ludlam - Kaitlyn Ludlam is a Sophomore at the University of Florida, dual majoring in Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering.

Now as a student researcher and activist at Columbia University, she wants to work on integrating STEM and policy together to make an impact. With a biomedical engineering major and a minor in political science, she is working with both her hometown, as well as the local NYC area to help integrate these two seemingly unrelated (but in reality quite related) fields. She has interned for the US Congress Congressional Program and for Majority Leader Senator Schumer where she is already working on this goal! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61469d53918044012d2cd3cc/1633236133942-HFVMIVRP8OKPX58MXPOJ/twitter_logo_white_on_blue.jpg Laalitya Acharya - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61469d53918044012d2cd3cc/1633236401920-55GJHYPHHDQM44D6J15M/tiktok.jpg Laalitya Acharya - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61469d53918044012d2cd3cc/1633236429406-3TWT6LOB4E8QWT8MP1HJ/website_logo.jpg Laalitya Acharya - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61469d53918044012d2cd3cc/1633236171595-VG8RYXHX1224U3ISCN7I/Instagram_glyph-logo_May2016_white.png Laalitya Acharya - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61469d53918044012d2cd3cc/337e83c7-7ead-4409-887a-b3ce741c8183/SciFair.jpg Laalitya Acharya https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61469d53918044012d2cd3cc/eda74a76-d9f0-4e91-af70-af37db4fb0a7/ColumbiaU.jpg Laalitya Acharya https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61469d53918044012d2cd3cc/78f2bc4b-f8a1-4dc0-8a16-e3b0b3dad0ef/graduation.jpg Laalitya Acharya https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61469d53918044012d2cd3cc/cd4fd022-8e64-45b8-a6a1-bf8a4f903ffc/regeneron.jpg Laalitya Acharya https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61469d53918044012d2cd3cc/6bb9068e-39bd-4a62-8a39-dd04b0688c87/regeneron2.jpg Laalitya Acharya https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61469d53918044012d2cd3cc/ed8caf8f-ba63-4e29-b73d-a042f12523da/SenSchumer.jpg Laalitya Acharya https://www.thesteamsquad.org/elijah-horland daily 0.75 2022-01-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61469d53918044012d2cd3cc/23fe717d-c2ad-42bb-a1c4-315580a10582/IMG_7081.jpeg Elijah Horland - Somewhere in 2017, Allie Weber started to comment on my posts here and there, and one day mentioned me after a road accident that led to the untimely death of some butterflies. Over time we started to comment on each other more, and I started to become aware of her many other friends. Jordan, Taylor, Allie and the others started to respond to my struggle for recognition at school. They offered validation and made me feel seen and heard. Suddenly I went from being alone in a crowd of a million kids, to knowing I was never really alone at all. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61469d53918044012d2cd3cc/2e819cf0-b29b-4e1f-b729-6a2793e32fa9/IMG_20220101_220235_259.jpg Elijah Horland - Hi. I’m Elijah. I’m a Maker and I make fun, loud, obnoxious videos. Welcome to my STEAM Squad page. Why am I in this club, with some of the most inspirational “kids” on the planet? I’m as baffled as you most of the time. Really. I’m not a “great grades” kid, my outreach has been limited mostly to corn in unusual places, and my inventions aren’t world changing. I’m better known for accidents than activism. So, why me, here? It’s not a long story, I’ll try to explain. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61469d53918044012d2cd3cc/c3039ba8-b9a3-4de4-aa75-dfaed02bafe2/IMG_6610.jpeg Elijah Horland - That’s the start of how I wound up here. Not “Because MythBusters.” MythBusters was one part of the first “full story” of my life as a part of the Squad. Not because I did something really cool, or that it was on TV but because that was the day it all came full circle. That was the first day I knew that I’d inspired others. Not theoretical “others” but actual people with actual names who I actually got to meet, just like I’d met the Squad and just like they’d inspired me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61469d53918044012d2cd3cc/c559b263-4438-4bc6-9b0b-c1bd7025ce65/IMG_1282.jpeg Elijah Horland - After all this time, it was still sitting there, a pile of parts, papers, ideas and research. It was late April, 2019 and I was still not listed here on this site, not a member of the STEAM Squad yet, and to be honest I hadn’t earned it yet. Three weeks. That’s all the newly formed “OK Do” company had before Maker Faire San-Francisco 2019, and that’s all the time I had to complete a big Faire-worthy project. That’s all the time I needed. It was enough time to build a “walk around” prototype and take basic pictures and atmospheric readings from my house to my favorite pizza place. It was enough time to make a quick design, seat the batteries, paint a cooler, order the parts and launch, twice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61469d53918044012d2cd3cc/1e61efa5-4aef-4377-85c1-92ba92f50a7f/MAKERFAIRE_OCT1_2016_PAVILLION_7.jpeg Elijah Horland - In 2016 I attended my first Maker Faire, the one in New York City in the fall. It was my first year in middle school, and I was part of the all-volunteer “Street Team” to raise awareness of the event I met makers from all over the world, and after talking with a few of them, decided to start talking to the “maker community” on Twitter to stay in touch. About the same time, my work as a “maker” got the attention of magazines, blogs, and other makers, partially for their merit and entertainment value, but also because of the pushback I got from an unusual place, and from the support that got me through. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61469d53918044012d2cd3cc/1633236823710-GR8X080RI3R3OFXLNC0H/Instagram_glyph-logo_May2016_white.png Elijah Horland -
