Loving Math and science why do people hate math once you place a number in it he understands it Making it real life problems Algebra is interwoven Presenting it abstractly sometimes doesn't understand Getting away from rope memorization How do we teach our teachers Sharing your education Why Don't we have a co-op in high school focused on university high school CTU CTE focus career Technical What is the public view -weeding out people of math -critical to broudening how math is used and informing the public -change how we talk to people about changing the message and get them excited about it -Their passion button taking AP Cal and not choosing these majors even if they graduate they might not go into engineering maybe we don;t give them a chance to click The more we can teach people to think the better the job will be maybe their passion is put behind what they want Nerd Club no reason to bring kids togetherin nothing to asses Just having as many ideas together thinking club having kids interested doesnt always have to be intersected into curriculum people have reasons math can be a gate keeper being creative with math and science but we've created a funnel that stops kids how do we share our talents by volunteering what they know
