#68 - Boosting STEM Outcomes for Students of Color w/ Caia Brown

Science! Technology! Engineering! Math! “STEM” has been all the rage in education over the last several years as schools look to prepare students for careers in the rapidly growing tech industry. Unfortunately, as STEM education has grown many of our traditionally marginalized students have been left behind. This week we’re joined by computer science teacher and Justice Code founder Caia Brown to explore how we can boost STEM outcomes for communities that are underrepresented in Silicon Valley. But first, Jeff and Manuel explore recent headlines in education including a big drop in FAFSA applications and a byzantine law in California that perhaps tried and definitely failed to diversify community college faculty. ***Please consider subscribing to our YouTube channel! https://youtube.com/AllOfTheAbove *** AGENDA 0:00 - Welcome! 7:10 - Financial Aid Applications Dropped Amid Pandemic 22:10 - CA Struggles to Diversify Faculty 35:33 - Boosting STEM Outcomes w/ Caia Brown 1:08:27 - Partnership LA University Day!
