SMASH = Educational Equity
Quality Education Should NOT Be Tied to Race or Economics
SMASH Midwest Scholar, Ja’Nya performed her moving spoken word poetry on the social inequalities our scholars face
In order to smash systems of inequalities, we must develop the talents of underrepresented youth to become agents of change within their communities. Through our intensive and holistic STEM focused education, SMASH is building a strong, diverse, and socially conscious tech workforce. SMASH’s integrated approach to STEM education, not only prepares our scholars, like Ja’Nya for the ever-changing workforce, but it also develops our scholars into the next generation of socially conscious leaders who are making sure their voices are heard and are finding solutions to SMASH out the systems of inequalities that feed institutional racism.
