(1/15) Today is #DayOfTheGirl and I'm 17, so it'll be my last one, I'd like to do a thread of who I am. Also, since I've been getting a lot of followers recently. This thread will be about some of my life from little 10-year-old me taking a Harvard class to earlier this year.
(2/15) At 10 years old, I took a @Harvard class on @edXOnline. It was called Super Earths and Life and it was the 1st version that had a few issues. I actually had to correct the TA in the class multiple times lol.
I got a 96%. I was very proud of myself.

(3/15) The next big thing I did in #STEM was starting my @YouTube channel with Supernova Style Science News when I was 12. Since then, the channel changed to @7SageLabs and I added more shows: The STEAM Shop, 7 Sage Lab Notes, and SciFacts.
(4/15) At 13, I started sending experiments into space through the @CubesInSpace program. I also ran a group to help other kids get their experiments to space. So far, I've sent 6 experiments of my own into space with 2 more approved and 2 others planned.
(5/15) Also at 13, I co-founded @TheSTEAM_Squad with my friend @RobotMakerGirl. It's a group filled with some of the top young female scientists in the world. It's co-ran with @astrostarbright and @_jordan_reeves. Go check out the website thesteamsquad.org for #DayOfTheGirl
(6/15) When I was 15, I won a number of awards. The first one was the 24 Under 24 Award from @TheMarsGen.

(10/15) And lastly, I was also on @Wonderama_TV as a guest!

(11/15) Last year, I entered into a @xprize for making a better face mask. I got into the Top 10 out of nearly 1K entries worldwide, where I was against high level groups like one that had over 20 students from @JohnsHopkins medical engineering dept.

(12/15) I also have talked at a lot of conferences and events, have done a load of #science outreach in a multitude of ways, been featured in articles, books, and TV news for my science work, and more.
I pretty much live and breathe science. 😂

(13/15) So why have I done all this in the last 7 years? Because I want to show girls, especially on #DayOfTheGirl, that there is no limit. You can dream big and do big things, but it's going to take a lot of work, a lot of time, and a lot of heartache. ...
(14/15) ... But you can truly be part of making the world better. And for me, that's all that matters.
(13/15) If you would like to know more about me, here's a link to my bio on @TheSTEAM_Squad: thesteamsquad.org/JulieSage.html.
It's quite a bit out of date but we're working on updating it hopefully here soon.
And if you'd like to know more stuff going on in my life, follow @7SageLabs
