Students of Color Learn Coding and How to Design a Commercial at Airbnb
Oakland, CA (May 14, 2018) – The Social Engineering Project, Inc. (“TSEP”) and Airbnb will hold a Family Science Night during Airbnb’s Week for Good. Roughly 90 minority students from all over the Bay Area and their parents will visit Airbnb’s Headquarters and have their employees teach coding and how to use design thinking to create their own Airbnb commercials. The purpose of the event is to motivate and inspire these students to go to college and pursue a STEM (Science Technology Engineering Math) related career. Another purpose is for parents to learn how they can be more supportive in their children’s quest of mastering STEM education.
FAMILY SCIENCE NIGHT DURING AIRBNB’s WEEK FOR GOOD
DATE: Wednesday, May 16, 2018
TIME: 6pm-8pm
LOCATION: Airbnb HQ, 888 Brannan Street, San Francisco, California

Professor Bryan Brown - Chief Educator
Bryan A. Brown joined the Stanford community during the 2004-2005 academic year after working at Michigan State University. He is an associate professor of science education and engages in research that explores how language and identity impact student learning. Dr. Brown is a former high school science teacher who earned a Bachelor’s degree in Biological Sciences from Hampton University, a Master’s degree in Educational Psychology from the University of California, and a Ph.D. in Educational Psychology from the University of California, Santa Barbara.
His co-authored 2009 research was awarded the Journal of Research in Science Teaching award as the top manuscript of 2009. He is the 2007 winner of the National Association for Research in Science Education (N.A.R.S.T.) award for outstanding early career scholarship. Dr. Brown was also named as a prestigious National Academy of Education and Spencer Foundation Fellow in 2005. Bryan's research in urban education examines how urban science education has underserved minority students by its failure to adequately design instruction that is sensitive to the language needs of urban populations. His early research projects lead to the development of an instructional approach (Disaggregate Teaching) that is designed to improve learning for underserved populations. Dr. Brown’s current research explores the similarities, or Conceptual Continuities, that exist between students’ conceptual understandings in informal learning environments and those valued by science.
