Decolonizing STEM – Using Hájíínei Hane’ (Traditional Navajo Origin Stories) and NASA Astrobiology Science

Why should you have to choose between pursuing STEM and cultivating your cultural identity? Students, educators, and professionals are welcome to join this workshop to engage in a hands-on, dual-learning activity that combines Indigenous and Western scientific knowledge. Then add your voice to a conversation about what is truly needed to decolonize STEM! *Note: This hands-on activity includes explanations in Navajo, though all are welcome and encouraged to participate.
