As a middle school student in New Haven (CT), Adrian Huq already cared deeply about the environment and would go out of their way to improve recycling efforts and reduce food waste at school. In high school, Adrian had the opportunity to engage with their school community about environmental issues and started organizing youth-led climate strikes and other initiatives, which led them to co-found the ‘New Haven Climate Movement’ Youth Action Team and coordinate the youth internship at the ‘Climate Health Education Project’. Based on solid scientific evidence about the impact of human actions on global climate, Adrian’s activism creates awareness of these issues and pressures local communities and policymakers to advance plans for broad climate education across the city and potential solutions to mitigate human impacts. Adrian inspires other young students to take action and is definitely helping New Haven move in the environmentally right direction!

Gammy Moses has been connecting young students and their parents with accessible, open green spaces around New Haven (CT) for the last 16 years. Through references to his childhood in the island of Dominica, spending as much time outdoors as possible and following the musical steps of his father, we can easily understand and admire his passion for environmental and outdoor education. Using captivating lessons that combine arts, rhythm, and movements with nature exploration, Gammy engages our youth in learning about science and taking action to protect our environment. There is absolutely no doubt that Gammy is an inspiration to how we should work together and teach our children!

In an effort to understand how STEM practitioners around the country are engaging with data literacy in their space, we’re launching a series of interviews. First, I’m sitting down with Jim Bader, the Executive Director of the Leonard Gelfand STEM Center at Case Western Reserve University. We chat about exploring data literacy at a K-12 STEM outreach center, Jim offers some resources to other educators looking to incorporate more data literacy into their work, and we consider how data is not necessarily “good” or “bad” - it just is. As Jim says, “students often struggle with that kind of ambiguity.” I hope you learn something from this interview - I certainly did!
