Lt. Gen. Donna Shipton attends 2024 Hoopla STEM event

Lt. Gen. Donna Shipton, Air Force Life Cycle Management Commander, helped kick off The Big Hoopla “The Road Starts Here” by speaking at the Hoopla’s STEM Challenge opening ceremony on March 17, 2024, at the Dayton Convention Center. “One of the great things that I love about our Air Force is all the adventures we get to have every single day. Our scientists and engineers work hard to bring great things like satellites and fighter weapons systems to bear, and they do great things for the nation,” said Shipton. I hope that you have fun today and that someday, maybe you want to be in our Force or Space Force to carry these interests forward on behalf of our nation. Championed by Wright State University, the STEM Challenge is geared toward K-8 students. The event organizer’s goal was to tie together the excitement and passion for college basketball with the power of STEM education. Regional and national partners were on hand to engage with students with hands-on STEM-related activities. (U.S. Air Force photo by Jim Varhegyi)
