Astra Zeno, our fantastic keynote speaker from @ywcpa_hisd, addressed the importance for children, and especially girl children, seeing more diverse examples of who they could aspire to be, especially in STEM fields, the importance of explaining to students why the subjects they are learning are important and relevant, the need for increased investment in STEM education overall, and also the need for equity in access to quality STEM education. Thank you to @shell and for sponsoring our 2019 STEM Luncheon! and shoutout to our co-sponsors @antones1962, @tfahouston, and @riceu_stem. #stemluncheon #2019stemluncheon #stemlearning #stemforkids #forchildren
