During the remaining 20% of their day, students in United States publicschools spend the least amount of time receiving science-related instruction compared to readingand math [2]. In addition, other disciplines like technology and engineering may not be availableto students during their school day. The accessibility and quality of science

The data shown within this presentation werecollected as part of a larger NSF-funded study qualitatively assessing themanifestation of racism within the technology industry.From literature, we know that Black engineers leave their workplaces at a higher ratethan White engineers. This is largely due to the toxic workplace environments definedby White men that are unwelcoming for minoritized people [1], [2].
