This teacher CPD resource introduces The Missing Millions project - a report that focuses on the many millions of people who are currently excluded from the world of STEM research.
Science and technology suffer from underrepresentation of many social groups, which affects the quality and societal impact of new advancements. This is especially true in data and computation, where the lack of access and participation for many means that their views, values and skills are not accounted for in new development.
Based at RTI International in North Carolina in the US, Alan Blatecky worked with other researchers and countless practitioners to explore how computation and data can be accessible to more people and to build a strong case for the democratisation of computational resources.
The resource contains interviews with different researchers involved in the project and outlines the report’s key messages. It also provides discussion points to prompt collegiate and reflective discussions.
If you a question for the team, you can submit it online – go to the article using the Futurum link below and scroll to the bottom of the page.
