Future Leaders Scholarship Recipient, Astrid Akerman
A Gold Level Scholarship is awarded to Astrid Akerman of Cape Elizabeth.
One of the biggest challenges that she sees facing girls and women today is women being pushed out of male-dominated pursuits such as video games and e-sports. To help address this issue, she plans to become a video game illustrator and form a new path for women in that field, creating games for women by women and to open doors for the next generation.
