Earlier this month, 10 Midview Middle School medical detectives students and nine Midview High School biomedical sciences students recently participated in the Cleveland STEM Goes Red for Girls event, sponsored by the American Heart Association. This event offered female students a unique opportunity to explore their potential to create meaningful change in the world through STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics), according to a news release. STEM Goes Red for Girls is part of a nationwide initiative aimed at empowering future generations of female leaders in STEM fields. This year, the sold-out event brought together 320 girls from 32 schools across Greater Cleveland. “A lot of the time when boys are at stuff, they tend to push past the girls,” said eighth-grader Stella Campbell, in the release. “I felt a lot more comfortable and confident being there and engaging. “We actually got to learn and be involved.” Hosted at the Great Lakes Science Center, the event connected seventh- to ninth-graders with some of Greater Cleveland’s top STEM companies. Attendees participated in a hands-on exploration expo, speed mentoring sessions and success sessions like “Engineering Your Success” from Parker Hannifin and “Discovery Heart” by University Hospitals, the release said. “It was incredibly meaningful to watch our students interact with peers from other schools and representatives from various industries,” said Midview High School biomedical sciences teacher Jessica Dembiec in the release. “Seeing so many impressive women in STEM across Northeast Ohio was inspiring. “We need more representation in these fields, and it’s important for our female students to realize that the sky’s the limit for possibilities. Opportunities like this showcase the power of women supporting women.” According to the American Heart Association’s STEM Goes Red website , while women hold nearly half of all jobs in the U.S., they account for less than 25% of STEM positions, despite millions of available roles, the release said. Employment in STEM occupations is projected to grow, yet women remain vastly underrepresented in these fields, according to the release. Midview Middle School Project Lead the Way teacher Brett Mattingly expressed his surprise at some of the statistics shared during the event and emphasized the importance of supporting female students in STEM, the release said. “Registration for this event fills up within a matter of minutes each year,” Mattingly said. “I was trying to act as quickly as possible to secure spots for our students and was really excited we were able to attend. “It’s nice to have a female-focused event that encourages exploration and helps students envision themselves in these roles. With only 12% of women graduating with STEM degrees, it’s really important that we empower our students with the tools, opportunities and support needed to increase that number.” The Midview Local School District has continued to recognize the importance of providing unique educational pathways and programming for students, especially in STEM, according to the release.Overall, the Opta Club Power Rankings provide a comprehensive look at the current form and strength of football clubs across different leagues.

Additionally, the emphasis on storytelling and brand narrative plays a pivotal role in the new era of Douyin e-commerce. Instead of simply showcasing products, brands are weaving compelling stories around their offerings, highlighting the benefits, values, and emotions associated with the products. By tapping into the power of storytelling, brands can create a deeper connection with consumers and differentiate themselves in a crowded market.Jaleel White is feeling kind of cool. “My wife cranked up this air conditioning,” he says from his hotel room in New York while on tour to promote his new memoir, “Growing Up Urkel.” But Steve Urkel, as any consumer of ’90s pop culture can tell you, was anything but cool. The character White played from 1989 to 1998 on the wholesome hit sitcom “Family Matters” defined the Black nerd for TV watchers: saddle shoes, suspenders, thick glasses, high, nasal voice. Sure, “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” had Carlton (Alfonso Ribeiro), but he was more of an entitled, clueless preppy. Urkel was Poindexter personified. White, now 47, will forever be connected to the character he created in a series that he essentially picked up and put on his shoulders; Urkel didn’t arrive until midway through the first season but quickly became the main attraction. He’s not hiding from it; that would be pointless. “Growing Up Urkel” is not “I Am Not Spock,” Leonard Nimoy’s insistent memoir about what differentiated him from the logic-obsessed Vulcan he played on “Star Trek.” Instead it’s something rare: a reminiscence from a remarkably well-adjusted and good-humored former child star that still manages to tell some tales about what he calls “the shark-infested waters of show business.” His primary motive for writing the book, he says, was pretty simple: “I wanted to give my parents their flowers while they’re still here. All I see are these showbiz tragedy stories. My parents didn’t know what the heck they were doing, but the most important thing was they had good intentions for me. My family and I, we really had very little understanding of leverage. We were stuck in appreciation mode. And I think that’s good to some degree.” Born in Culver City and raised in a middle-class Pasadena family, White was taught to work hard and be grateful for what he had. He recalled that his mother made sure to keep him from getting a big head, asking people on the “Family Matters” set to keep constant tabs on him. Expensive cars and designer clothes weren’t an option; when he learned to drive he was pushing the family’s hand-me-down Acura. He was happy if he could stay outfitted in fly Nike gear (which became easier when pro sports teams got word that he was a basketball fanatic and sent him boxes of the latest stuff). “When I started on the show, I was a 12-year-old kid who wanted an audition and wanted to get the job so my parents would give me a Sega Genesis,” he said. Polite and chivalrous — his parents sent him to etiquette school so he could learn how to be a gentleman — he writes about his early dating experience with a mix of laughter and chagrin: “My mom had done such a miraculous job sheltering me from negative influences she had effectively made me an overconfident, generous-minded dunce for teen girls to roll over.” In short, he was a good kid with good parents, qualities that didn’t always come in handy when it was time for ABC to pay him commensurately with other TV stars. He writes that the series’ producers dissuaded him from pursuing ancillary Urkel opportunities lest he become “overexposed.” In one of the book’s most telling anecdotes, a 14-year-old White is grounded by his mother after an argument. When his parents inform the “Family Matters” producers that he’s sick and unable to come to work, a series of gift baskets arrives at the White family home, along with an offer to send a doctor. White writes that ABC assumed his family was pulling a ”sick-out,” a common ploy used by parents of child stars angling for more money. But when White returned to work the next day, his family made no demands. Turns out they were just disciplining their son. “That was probably my greatest moment of leverage that we never realized,” White writes. “All of those gifts were received by me and my parents so earnestly. My parents may have even felt badly that a family dispute had led to so many people being concerned about my health.” White has worked plenty in the years since “Family Matters.” He voiced Sonic the Hedgehog in a series of Sega games; more recently he has had roles in the TV series “The Afterparty” and alongside Adam Sandler in the underrated basketball movie “Hustle” (a shoot he fondly remembers for its pickup hoops games). He knows he’ll always be Urkel to fans of a certain age, but he’s happy when someone on the street recognizes him for something else, like his current gig hosting the CBS game show “Flip Side.” “I’m a game show host now for the Boomers who were calling me Urkel,” he says. And millennials, who have grown up Googling everything, often call him something else entirely. The name he grew up hearing. “They call me Jaleel,” he says.
