Evangelizing Science

Science is fascinating, cool, and mind-blowing, but - as you know if you’ve ever sat through a boring high-school science class - it doesn't always thrill kids. Science educator Ainissa Ramirez is looking to change that. Ramirez believes we're leaving a whole host of potential scientists, engineers, and mathematicians behind because of the backwards way we teach STEM courses. And she thinks that’s completely unacceptable. If you’ve ever been bored out of your mind in a science lecture, listen to her proposal to make chemistry, physics, and biology relatable and interesting for today’s kids -- you might just want to take high-school chemistry all over again.
