University Laboratory School sophomore Olive Taylor loves math. She's a member of the 2023 Million Girls Moonshot’s Flight Crew, a national team of youth leaders who support and encourage young girls to engage in STEM fields — science, technology, engineering, and math.

Taylor credits her mom for signing her up for STEM clubs. She's also participated in the University of Hawaiʻi's Gene-ius Day program. The Conversation sat down with the Honolulu teen to talk about her love of numbers.
