thevoices of my participants.Now that I have completed this course, I have the language, theories, and understanding tocompetently argue that youth of color are not a monolith and should not be treated as such whenbeing taught STEM. There are also skills, ways of knowing, being, representing, and living thatthese youth bring with them into the classroom, and educators should be sure not to overlook ordismiss these jewels of knowledge but celebrate them. Their current lived circumstances shouldnot dictate the education they receive or who they are to become in life, nor should a STEMeducation fit them into a narrow pathway that was not designed with their lives in mind. I learnedthat the engineering content that I teach youth should align with their
