May 2019 - Captain Marvel Visits STARBASE!

Well…it wasn’t really Captain Marvel but it was someone really special. It was 1st Lt. Jazmin Furtado, a U.S. Air Force engineer, who stood in for Captain Marvel to act as a role model for young people considering STEM education and STEM careers. Lt Furtado spoke to students participating in STARBASE from Peabody, Mass.. She talked about her background and how motivation and persistence had led her to the U.S. Air Force Academy and to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Today, Lt Furtado helps design systems for ground troops to communicate with aircraft. She’s also a great speaker and a terrific choice for “Captain Marvel”. See Captain Marvel with the students here.
