We live in a world of science, but for the marginalized group venturing into science seems like something far from their reach. How do we simplify sciences for kids, ignite their interests and empower them to go discover more exciting things about our world?
In this episode of Hey, I’m listening, Dr. Joan speaks with Viola Baxter about Empowering kids through Science Education
Viola Baxter is a children’s book author, a medical technologist in blood transfusion, and is interested in STEM education for young kids and wishes to get them interested in science from a young age. She’s located in South Africa and her first book is titled ‘All About our Blood’. She’s a mother to a 2-year-old daughter and was married in a traditional ceremony in 2018.
