- Good evening my name Katelyn Cilino and I am a Senior Sustainability and Coastal Resilience Major concentrated in Science in Ecoystems with a minor in Environmental science. This summer I was able to have the opportunity to intern with the Village Plantersville Summer academy. During the Summer I was able to develop a Culturally Embedded STEM Education Curricula: Titled Flood Resistance in Georgetown, SC. This curriculum aligns with Sustainable development goal 4, 11, and 13.
