What if every school had a “Director of Relationships” whose sole responsibility was to help kids, especially those who are often overlooked, build their social networks and imagine what they can do? What if an entire school leaned into maker education, from curriculum to professional development to classroom design?

When I was a kid, Earth Day was the one time a year that my school focused on the environment, tasking us with making posters about turning off lights and turning off the water while brushing our teeth (never mind the reams of paper we used in the making of these posters).

“Has anyone ever underestimated you?” That was the question asked by a ten-year-old girl at our Maker Girls event the other night. She was asking this of five IF/THEN Ambassadors, women STEM leaders who’ve committed to serving as role models for young girls. Cancer immunologist Danielle Twum answered, “I take that underestimation and make it my superpower.” She went on to say, “If there’s no seat at the table, build your own table.”
