SXSW EDU 2021
Not Enough Latinos in STEM, Por Que?
Description:
Education leadership today, from the classroom level through superintendency, does not reflect nearly the same depth of diversity as our student population--in race, gender, or grade level teaching background. Research shows that there is a lack of Latino tech talent available, and how it begins in K-12. Join us to discuss the ways teachers, schools and other community stakeholders can ensure we create the support for young Latino and other underrepresented students to be successful in STEM.
