DESCRIPTION:Drs. Jessica Espinoza and Suzanne Cruz will highlight the accom

 nd confidence in STEM while honoring heritage. Examples will include incorp
 orating storytelling about pioneers such as Ellen Ochoa (astronaut)\, Sabri

 U.S. Surgeon General)\, alongside developmentally appropriate STEM activiti
