About this episode

Underrepresented is not often the thought that comes to mind when describing males in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). However, there are striking gender and ethnic disparities across STEM fields as white males disproportionately occupy the sector in the US. In recognition of this, Dr Jerrod Henderson and Ricky Greer of the University of Houston developed an after-school academy to motivate underrepresented boys to become the next generation of scientists, engineers and mathematicians.
