Breaking down Barriers: Revolutionizing STEM Access for Rural Communities
JaneƩ Pelletier
Childhood Education, v100 n3 p40-47 2024
In recent years, a significant focus has been placed on addressing systemic inequities that exist within the education system. While considerable strides have been made to address disparities in urban education, a new conversation is emerging--one that centers on the unique challenges faced by students living in rural communities. These challenges are characterized by limited access to cutting-edge technologies, resources, and educational opportunities that have become essential for shaping the academic and economic prospects of their urban counterparts. Learning Undefeated, a forward-thinking nonprofit, is pioneering the use of mobile STEM laboratories to bring cutting-edge education directly to the doorsteps of rural communities, igniting a passion for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) in students who otherwise may have been left behind.
