Too many gifted students with STEM potential are overlooked due to subtle biases, limited exposure, or a lack of targeted encouragement.
This session explores how educators and families can better identify, support, and challenge underrepresented gifted learners in STEM fields, especially those who may not fit the typical mold.
We’ll examine research and trends around access, motivation, and identity in STEM. We will also discuss practical ways to remove barriers, spark interest, and create inclusive opportunities inside and outside the classroom.
