Alyshia Meyers, a Forensic Scientist with seven years of experience, spoke at the Portage Public Library this afternoon for an event called All About Forensics Science. The program was part of the Library’s Community STEM Cafe and was made possible by a mini grant from the Appalachia Intermediate Unit 8, providing residents in Cambria County with an opportunity to learn about Forensic Science.
Meyers emphasized the importance of getting kids interested in science at a young age, stating that the STEM field is always growing. By sparking their interest early on, she believes that it sets them up for success in the future. Meyers shared her knowledge and passion for the field with the audience, engaging them in a conversation about the fascinating world of forensics.
The event was well-attended by a handful of families, who were eager to learn more about Forensic Science and its importance in today’s society. The support from the Appalachia Intermediate Unit 8 and the Portage Public Library allowed for this educational experience to take place, providing a great opportunity for families and individuals to expand their understanding of this important field.
