When pop culture inspires learning
April Austin
We cover serious news, and we also flag the cultural shifts that often fly under the radar. In today鈥檚 package, Ken Makin looks at how a new Marvel superhero miniseries is firing up students to study science, technology, engineering, and math.聽
The 鈥淚ronheart鈥� series features a Black female tech wiz who invents an armored suit that, like that of Tony Stark in 鈥淚ron Man,鈥� gives her special powers.聽It turns out that one of her powers is inspiring Black students to see themselves in STEM careers. 鈥淚f you can see it, you can be it鈥� has been a rallying cry of directors and performers who often did not have role models growing up.聽
Pop culture can reach and engage students everywhere 鈥� and encourage them to dream.
