Marymount Holds Induction Ceremony

On Tuesday, April 2, the Marymount School of New York Chapter held its inaugural induction ceremony.  Twelve students were inducted, based on their academic achievements in coding and programming, as well as their long term commitment to Marymount's extracurricular program in coding,

The keynote speaker was Upper School Creative Technologist, Ari Melenciano, who reflected on her career path in coding.  She noted, "In being asked to speak to you all about my experience in STEM, it allowed me to reflect a lot.  For one, I never thought I'd be here, as an adult speaking to you about computer science.  About the importance and beauty of it, and how you can flourish in a field like this.  But I'm always thankful of these opportunities because I'm sure that if I was able to see someone like me doing computer science, when I was younger, I would have felt much more comfortable and invited to explore it.  I only hope that me being here does this for you, too."
