    ABOUT THE GUESTS: ·
    Scott · Scott’s journey is rooted in a decade of empowering underserved students. Beginning as a middle school English teacher, he recognized the challenges faced by low-income students, which inspired his transition to high school teaching and later college counseling, helping students explore career pathways. As a college administrator leading pre-college STEM programs at Illinois Institute of Technology, Scott uncovered systemic inequities, such as the lack of pre-calculus in Chicago Public Schools, limiting access to STEM fields like engineering and computer science. Determined to address these barriers, he focused on exposing students to STEM opportunities earlier. After teaching, Scott completed a coding bootcamp and entered the tech industry, where he often felt the weight of being one of the few Black professionals in the field. Now a Ph.D. student in Technology and Humanities and a dedicated STEM advocate, Scott develops programs that foster early STEM exposure and build students’ confidence in pursuing STEM careers. ·
