Dr. Ramon Benavides

Hi there! I’m Dr. Ramon Beanvides, aka Dr. B, a passionate education advocate and 2025 STEM Ambassador for the Department of Defense. I’m passionate about empowering underrepresented students through science, technology, engineering, and math education. With years of experience in both the classroom and in leadership roles, I focus on creating inclusive, culturally responsive STEM opportunities that open doors for all learners, especially those often left out of the conversation.

I’ve founded student-led STEM clubs, mentored science fair champions, and built programs that support college and career readiness in STEM. As a published author and advocate, I believe in the power of storytelling, community, and purpose-driven teaching to inspire the next generation of innovators and problem-solvers.

When I’m not doing things in the name of science and STEM, you can find me exploring our beautiful national parks with my family. We love connecting with nature, learning on the go, and making memories that fuel our curiosity and creativity. 

Follow along as I share my journey, highlight student successes, and offer resources and insights that push the boundaries of what’s possible in Science and STEM education.
