Mapping myself
Get City youth embarked on a journey of self-discovery, exploring who they are, their favorite places, foods, music, and activities. They also explored how they connected to science/STEM, and where they have experienced science/STEM. They started their map by brainstorming and sketching, using a projector to draw their face and designing items inside the face that represent themselves.
Antonio shared his belief by saying, “If we say something like racism, I feel offended.” He created a volcano on his map since he “likes science and how the chemical reaction causes the magma to fall out of the volcano.” His favorite quote from Martin Luther King is, “I have a dream,” hoping our dream in Get City comes true.
