The Manhattan Beach City Council presented certificates of recognition and America250 pins to two Gold Award recipients for community service projects focused on STEM outreach.
One recipient said she organized a STEM career expo at the Joslyn Center, recruiting nine panelists including engineers and a chemistry professor to inspire girls from minority backgrounds to pursue STEM careers. Miranda Fernandez said she developed a six‑week, repeatable STEM program for underserved Catholic schools in Compton that lacked science lab access.

Council framed the recognition as a ceremonial item and thanked the recipients for their community work.
