AI, Adaptability, and the Skills That Matter Most: Navigating a Tech Tomorrow

The Return Generation: Building Minds to Pilot the Future

This month, we watched history take flight with the launch of Artemis II and the rise of the return generation. Now, we’re continuing the conversation with an upcoming podcast episode featuring Nathalie Quintero, an engineer from Boeing, who worked on the Space Launch System. Listen in to learn hear how moments like this come together and how today’s students can be part of what’s next.

Rewiring Readiness: Aptitudes, Skills, and the Future of Work

The workforce is shifting faster than education systems can keep up. So what actually makes someone “ready”? Brittany is joined by YouScience CEO Edson Barton to explore a new framework rooted in aptitude. Together, they unpack why traditional career pathways fall short, how micro-credentials and exploration can build confidence, and why teaching students how to learn may be the most critical skill of all.

AI, Adaptability, and the Skills That Matter Most: Navigating a Tech Tomorrow

As AI reshapes the workforce, what skills matter, and how do we prepare the next generation to thrive amid constant change? In this episode of The Riveter Roundtable, Brittany sits down with Donna Kruse, CEO of Savvy Technologies and Philanthropy Committee Chair of Cloud Girls, for a candid conversation about the realities of today’s tech landscape. From real-world workflows to the growing disconnect between education and industry, Donna shares frontline insights from advising IT leaders navigating disruption every day. Whether you’re an educator, employer, parent, or student, this episode offers a grounded, hopeful look at how humans, not just machines, will define the future of work.

Opening Doors: How Supporting Early STEM Changes Everything

In this episode, Brittany is joined by educators Joyce and Edy to explore how early STEM access transforms students, families, and entire communities. Their stories highlight the real impact of hands-on opportunities, especially in schools where resources can be limited. As we approach Giving Tuesday, this episode offers a clear look at the impact supporters make possible, and why expanding this work matters more than ever.

STEM, Stereotypes, and Sky-High Dreams

We’re kicking off The Riveter Roundtable with a story that soars! In this episode, we chat with Hope Dixon—one of our very first Rosie Riveters—who went from building a satellite in elementary school to earning a full-ride to Georgia Tech for aerospace engineering. Together, we look back on a decade of breaking STEM stereotypes, building confidence, and creating opportunities for young people to learn and lead. This conversation shines a light on the power of community and mentorship in helping the next generation of innovators take flight, and we encourage you to pull up a chair and join us.
