• This teaching resource introduces the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory’s Latino Initiative Program run by Dr Rodolfo Montez Jr. and Christine Crowley. The programme enables students from under-represented backgrounds to pursue careers in STEM.
• This resource also contains interviews with Dr Montez and students who have taken part in the programme, so your students can think about routes into astrophysics and what reserach in the field is like.
• The activity sheet provides ‘talking points’ (based on Bloom’s Taxonomy) to prompt students to reflect on the programme and challenges them to think about how the STEM community can become more diverse.

This resource was first published on Futurum Careers, a free online resource and magazine aimed at encouraging 14-19-year-olds worldwide to pursue careers in science, tech, engineering, maths, medicine (STEM) and social sciences, humanities and the arts for people and the economy (SHAPE).
