On Thursday, February 9, 2023, International Business Machines (IBM) visited Southern University Laboratory School to engage students about STEM areas highlighting technology and how integral it is in their everyday lives. IBM staff members introduced themselves, highlighting their educational background (schools & majors) along with the projects they have worked on. The SULS students then followed suit introducing themselves and their future aspirations.
IBM staff members were able to provide a broad range of careers; thus, highlighting the vast areas of STEM opportunities available to students. These fields included but not limited to computer science, psychology, sociology, animal science, medicine, and business just to name a few. This interactive experience allowed staff members as well as students the ability to ask probing questions; therefore, cultivating an atmosphere for both groups to learn from each other.
Followed by the Q&A session, IBM facilitated an exercise with the students, asking them to build an application for everyday use. Working collaboratively in groups, the students were tasked with finding ways to find solutions to assist society in insurance, physical therapy, or understanding various mathematical computations. There were so many interesting ideas. We wish we had more time to discuss. We would like to thank IBM and their staff for pouring into our future. Among the staff members, Former SULS students Yvette Moody and Frederick Christian ℅ 91’ assisted with the facilitation of the event.

Southern University Laboratory School sent 19 students ranging from grades 7th-11th to the 61st YMCA Youth & Government Conference held in Baton Rouge, LA. Organized by State Director Jeremy Miller and Isha Matta, the conference was December 1-3, 2022.
The Louisiana YMCA Youth Legislature conference is a three-day conference held each year that engages high school students from across the state at every level of state government. Students assume roles in all three branches of government as they debate issues of local and state importance. Through the conference, they gain first-hand knowledge of the democratic process and develop leadership and presiding skills. Youth Legislature is a student-led conference where State Board officials are elected by their peers to plan and preside over each conference.
Congratulations to Kalen Williams and Alaysia Raymond! Their bill on the modification of the, “Stand Your Ground,” law ranked high in Committee, passed the House of Representatives, then the Senate. On the last day of session, the presiding Governor vetoed the legislation.
The students displayed their writing, listening, oratorical, and debating skills throughout the conference. Job well done to all attendees.
For more information regarding SULS participation in the Youth & Government Conference please contact Herman R. Brister at (225) 771-3490 or hermanbrister@sulabschool.com
