February 2022: Black History Month

1/30/2022

0 Comments

 
In honor of Black History Month, we will be learning more about Black and African American people who have made tremendous contributions to Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics (STEAM). SEAONC SE3 invites you to participate by completing one (or all!) of the options below:
  • Read/watch Dream Builder: The Story of Architect Philip Freelon (NMAAHC and Museum of the African Diaspora in SF): hardcover book or YouTube video (could read/watch with your kids)
  • Read about 50 Black Women in STEM You Should Know About (What did you learn? Most surprising? Who’s missing?)
  • Read about fifteen Black Men in Science: A Black History Book for Kids
  • Learn about ASCE’s list of Notable Black Engineers in History

Don’t have enough time to participate in this book club meeting? We challenge you to consider donating STEAM books centered on Black and African Americans to local underserved K-12 schools or community centers. Oftentimes, Black students do not have access to books with Black and African Americans portrayed as scientists, engineers, artists, and more. Here are other links with suggested books for young K-12 readers:
  • #BlackinSTEM: 17 Nonfiction Books That Spotlight Black Scientists, Thinkers, and Inventors | School Library Journal 
  • Ignite Their Curiosity: STEM Books Featuring African American Girls 

And check out Oakland’s African American Read-In 2022 Recommended Book List with the Read-In Week happening January 31st to February 4th!
