For Latino Students, the Fear of Being Left Behind in AI and STEM Jobs

Edsurge

Latino children make up one of the fastest-growing demographics in K-12 education. Yet few are likely to grow up and establish careers in technology. For them, there’s obviously a leak somewhere in the school-to-jobs pipeline.

The Hechinger Report
