Good deeds and hard work always pays off

I share this video with my students - who mostly want to be rappers, gamers or soccer players. When I ask them why, they all answer the same...for the money and the cars. But when a popular tiktok guy asks people with sick cars ‘what they do for a living’ none of them are athletes or Game players, in fact many of them are game makers! 70 percent of these self made people made their money in a STEM related field. This is why we exist!

We recently completed our 4th year working with the West Contra Costa Unified School District to raise math results for students of color. We’re especially proud of our work with Nystrom Elementary that has more than doubled the percentage of Black and Latino students exceeding proficiency in math. Also, we’ve helped to reduce the number of Black students scoring far below basic by 15%! Thanks to all the contributors who helped to make this happen. #educationistheanswer, #wccusd
