NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / September 27, 2023 / At Boston Scientific, we strive to advance science for life, which includes inspiring the next generation of STEM professionals who will help shape the future of health care. Using a combination of hands-on experiences and classroom education, our employee STEM councils helped more than 70,000 young people explore careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math in 2022.
Hear from three employees whose devotion to STEM education and helping others discover their fullest potential is making a difference around the globe.
An investment in the future
Marcelo Gonzalez has always wanted to know how things work. While this curiosity eventually led to a rewarding career, Marcelo didn't always know how to channel it. "It was my fourth birthday and I'd gotten a pedal go-kart. I wanted to know what made it move, so I followed the chain underneath with my finger and - let's just say it didn't end well," says Marcelo, chuckling. Thankfully, his dad rushed him to the hospital and saved his finger, though he still has the scar today.
Influenced by his older cousins who were engineers, Marcelo pursued an industrial engineering degree and today, he's a senior quality manager and an active member of his local STEM council in Argentina. His team helps students hear career advice firsthand from Boston Scientific employees and engages them in interactive activities - like seeing what a doctor sees when a stent is placed - using augmented reality and other technologies.
For Marcelo, the most rewarding part is working with a passionate and dedicated team to help kids connect their curiosity with the potential to create meaningful innovation. "To me, investing in these kids is investing in the future," he says. "I'm not going to change the planet much more - but they will."

Like Marcelo, Ronan Emmett, a talent development manager based in Cork, Ireland, enjoyed taking his toys apart as a child. Ronan's penchant for questioning the world around him led him to pursue a career in information technology before transitioning to teaching, and then human resources and talent development.
In 2016, Ronan was part of a team that helped develop the GROW program, a chance for college-level engineering, science and biotechnology students and BSC product builders to spend a summer gaining hands-on experience working on a real production line while receiving mentoring and formal education. Employees and the college students learn together and from one another in this program. Since its establishment in Cork, GROW has expanded to become a global development program for product builders and technicians at the company.
