All-Girls Teen Engineering Team Creates A Solar-Powered Tent For Homeless People.


After watching twelve girls from my hometown in Los Angeles, CA present their solar-powered homeless tent at MIT, I realized everything we think we know about STEM education for Black and brown kids is backwards. These weren't just students who learned to code – they were inventors who learned they could solve problems for their own people.

Now I use what I've learned to help educators and organizations teach invention through a cultural asset-based approach. I'll show you how to transform young people from passive learners into active inventors who see their communities as their greatest strength.
