I’m working on a grant for a #crossgenerational #colearning project involving #bipoc youth and I’m issuing the following challenge: Tell me about a time when you learned something new and exciting from a young, BIPOC, person or student. What was it? How did they teach you? #blacksinstem #stem #stemm #steam #blacksinscience #blackmasodon #physics #astrophysics #heliophysics #hamsci
