● Ciencia Para Todos
“Due to the lack of diversity in most of our classes in STEM. We felt excluded and like outcasts in our classrooms, so we decided to come together and create a safe space for spanish speaking students in STEM majors. We now work together to teach about environmental education in order to inspire the future spanish speaking generation of our communities. To dream big and realize that they are capable of also being STEM professionals in the future.”
