The right encouragement can change how a child sees their future. A parent’s World Science Day reflection offers a personal glimpse of that impact through the teaching and mentorship of Dr. Lisa Starr, President of PowerMax Company.

The educators who open doors

In a LinkedIn tribute, Mayealie Adams reflects on the influence teachers can have on a young person’s interests and direction. She shares her appreciation for Dr. Starr’s role in helping her daughter build a love of science, confidence, and a willingness to keep exploring.

Her reflection celebrates the curiosity that begins in a classroom and the educators, mentors, and communities who help it grow.

“Your impact extends far beyond the classroom.”— Mayealie Adams, in her LinkedIn tribute to Dr. Starr

Learning that reaches beyond the classroom

With more than 30 years in education, Dr. Starr connects hands-on STEM learning with mentorship and encouragement. Through Starr STEM Club, she helps young people recognize their abilities and discover new possibilities.

Her children’s book, Dr. Starr and the Spark Inside You, brings that spirit of discovery to young readers. As President of PowerMax Company, she continues her commitment to education, opportunity, and stronger families.

A shared commitment to possibility

This community reflection brings PowerMax’s mission to life: when educators, families, and mentors work together, children gain the confidence to ask questions, develop their strengths, and imagine what comes next.
