SXSW EDU 2020
Co-Designing a UDL STEM Career Exploration Toolkit
Description:
How do we entice students, including those from populations and backgrounds under-represented in STEM, to consider and pursue careers in newly emerging STEM industries where there is not yet an established academic or career path? We will look at how a team representing students, academia, industry, and an education non-profit are tackling this challenge in the emerging field of biofabrication (tissue and organ manufacturing) through a co-design process where student voice is central.
