TESTIMONIAL

There is no exercise better for the heart than reaching down and lifting people up.

Chris Arakawa
While I’ve had the opportunity to work with world-renowned scientists and physicians at UCLA and UW, my curiosity and love for science began and was cultured at the Youth Science Center. These first experiences with biology, dissection, anatomy, rocket building, and computer science sparked a new passion. I was inspired by teachers who were excited about science and loved the material they were teaching. Their enthusiasm was infectious as we learned the material.

I can attribute much of my early love of science and technology to the Youth Science Center and its programs, of which I was a member of for the better part of my youth. I know for sure that, had I not been driven down the path of STEM from an early age by the YSC, I would not be where I am today - and I have Ron Chong and the entire staff and volunteers of the YSC to thank for the initial burst of inspiration.

Daniel's academic journey to a doctorate in mechanical engineering all started in one of Judy and Aaron Dominguez’ many rocketry classes at the YSC. He distinctly remembers sitting in a Wedgeworth Elementary classroom and realizing that rocket science wasn’t just fascinating, but that being a rocket scientist was a job he could actually have – as long as he was willing to work for it. He took his education seriously starting that very moment and credits the YSC with a lot of his success due to this early motivation.
