In fact, sometimes he clashed with the principal and teachers. But the advice he gives today — even to students who aren’t enjoying high school — is apply to college. “College is so different from high school,” he points out, “and you can choose to study subjects that you find interesting.”

    Kaitlin Russell / Echota Cherokee Tribe of Alabama / University of Alabama / Aerospace Engineering

    As a little girl Kaitlin Russell had a big imagination. Her father fueled it by sharing his love of science-fiction movies, so for young Kaitlin, colonizing Mars wasn’t far-fetched and, she reasoned, there would have to be pets on Mars when people lived there and someone had to take care of them. “I knew I wanted to do something with space,” she recalls. “Space veterinarian?”

    25 Native STEM Enterprises to Watch: Native business owners and tribes are creating opportunities in Indian Country and beyond
