Discussion Topic
Redefining Public Education: The How and The Why
Technology Access Foundation (TAF) aims to promote social change throughout public education and corporate industries by breaking down barriers to high-quality STEM education for students furthest from educational justice. By discussing how public school districts, local governments, and companies can actively participate in creating a more equitable education system, TAF challenges us all to change the culture of education to ensure public education serves all students through anti-racist practice and pedagogy.
