As a scientist of color, who teaches predominantly African-American and Latino students, I am committed to making science come alive for my students and helping them realize that science indeed offers an exciting alternative career path. During my graduate school training, it was disheartening to see so few underrepresented minority students and scientists. In the next decade, I would like to see those demographics change. I would like to see some of my students added to the science pipeline. Often times, science is looked upon as a boring subject because the students are not actively engaged in the inquiry process. This will not be the case in our class! I teach a group of very talented 6th and 7th grade students in Harlem who want to know the relevance of science in their everyday lives. Engaging students in co-inquiry and collaboration deepens their understanding in the sciences and fosters a love of science that will hopefully follow them throughout their lives.
