When Dr. Nehemiah Mabry was a child, he thought he wanted to be an "inventor," because he didn't even know that the term "engineer" existed. In high school, his father helped him realize that he was destined for a STEM career, and he later worked as an engineering researcher at NASA, an engineer at Simpson Engineers and Associates and a researcher and instructor at N.C. State University. There, he realized the impact he could have on STEM education and went out on his own to build STEMedia, an edtech and digital media company providing content, community and career opportunities for young professionals in STEM. In this episode, learn how he built the company—one of his greatest designs yet.
