5 Minutes with STEM4Real

We were joined by one of our latest EALA partners, STEM4Real. We spoke with Leena Bakshi, Founder and Executive Director of STEM4Real. Their mission is to provide socially just and culturally relevant STEM teaching and standards-based learning strategies through collaboration, professional learning, culturally responsive instructional materials and diverse children’s literature. This stems from their belief that each and every single child, regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, religion or creed should be able to see themselves in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and/or Mathematics. 

Learn more about their work to diversify the STEM fields and why it is so important for students to have proper representation in this episode.
