Kara Bobroff: Empowering Indigenous Culture in Computer Science and Environmental Health
Kara: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! I am proudly Diné/Lakota and thus deeply aware of profound, ongoing effects of injustice on Native American students’ education since the Boarding School Era. One Generation supports culturally responsive and rigorous education opportunities. Our initiatives include Indigitize, to engage 10,000 Native youth in computer science (CS); Dine’ Empowerment, to uplift community-led Indigenous learning and languages; and Indigenous Farm Hub, to grow healthy food and educate youth/adults on Indigenous agriculture.
