Show Summary:Is STEM really accessible for all students? What is the purpose of tracking students in school? Claire and Natasha discuss inequalities in our school system and how putting students in a track may limit their educational potential. We also share our own experiences in struggling with math, but due to parental support and resources, we were able to persevere and become engineers. But what about students who don't have the same support system. Should they have less of an education? We get pretty passionate about this topic!Links from the Show:Related The STEM Space Podcast Episodes71. How to Create a Relevant STEM Challenge67. Is STEM After School Effective?58.
