Sam is a student at the UofM's Herff College of Engineering and worked as an Engineering Professional Intern at Disney World. He talked to the DES STEM kids about his experience work- ing with Disney roller coasters and then led them through a safety mat course that he wrote and coded. What a great inspiration for our students! Congrats to Sam for all of his successes so far!
