In this episode, we talk with Dr. Michelle Magallanez, the Head of Special Projects at AVID Center.
Despite being a self-defined math phobe, Michelle has become a champion for STEM, computer science, and the transformative skills those areas of study can provide students.
Michelle wants students to understand that these fields are not about multiplication tables. They are about asking, “How are you a problem solver that can use technology to improve the world?” Through computer science and STEM, Michelle strongly believes that we can help students become the “empathetic, ethical, problem solvers of the future.”
