We empower African American youth to identify environmental problems in their own communities, conduct scientific investigations, and create and implement action plans to address those issues.

The goals of My STEM My Story are to investigate:

1) the development and use of a STEM Club curriculum, which uses a graphic novel, justice-oriented STEM investigations, story writing, community action plans, and mentoring as healing justice tools to build the capacity of young people to act on their environment for the good of their communities (Ginwright, 2010) and

2) radical healing as an approach to embed equity and inclusion into informal STEM programming and to promote positive STEM identity development in African American youth
