outreach

Soapbox Science banner and guest speaker

“The mission of soapbox is twofold. It’s to promote the work that they’re doing, but to also let folks know, young and old that they can get into STEM – it’s not specific to a gender and really everybody can love and do wonderful science.”

I fear that somewhere within these outreach endeavours is an attempt to make other cultures similar to our own—that maybe we mask our neo-colonial endeavors by calling them community engagement or outreach programs to suggest they are selfless acts.
