The students I teach come from diverse cultural, linguistic, and economic backgrounds in a rural suburb of Seattle. We teach our students to dream big, that they can go to college, and that STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) careers present a wonderful opportunity. But without the resources to entice, cultivate, nurture, and build those interests, students lack a concrete connection or vision. For many of our students, math and science have become subjects to be suffered, but, with the right technological tools, they can become vocational passions that last a life time... if the right switch can be flipped at the right time before young minds turn off to the possibility.
