having some kids play with slime is not going to fix a pipeline program or pipeline problem, or it's not going to increase, just by increasing exposure to STEM is not going to be solving any intricate and multifaceted problems, and I never thought that it would. I think that maybe this isn't an idea for a springboard, for how best to get... Like for instance, one of the main drivers of Science Haven was that I saw that all these graduate students that are from largely privileged backgrounds, are living in a neighborhood that is extremely secluded away from everyone else in New Haven, and it's just basically for Yale students. I was really bummed out about that and I was like, "Wow, these people aren't experiencing New Haven for what it is truly, they're just from one Yale bubble to another Yale bubble that's separated by New Haven." Which is like some sort of some sort of tunnel they have to go through to get to their job, and I think that's extremely problematic, because there's such a wealth of experiences that would be formative for them to better ground themselves and be able to use their privilege later on once they are continuing to earn more money, become more politically influential and things like that and they're not actually seeing New Haven residents for what they are and realizing that they are neighbors and that they're friends and just because they don't have a Yale ID hanging from their neck or from their belt loop doesn't mean that they're not supposed to interact with them. I am not really good at articulating these sort of ideas, but this is the sort of feelings that were bubbling up when I was thinking about this stuff, and it's not that I think that a VR headset is going to like, it's going to break down all the systemic barriers. Like, "Oh, this kid, he had a chance to see a VR headset and then he just loved science and became the next NASA director." But there's more to it to where I think that working together with people that have a lot more experience with this kid could help you know make this more of like a neighborhood development and leadership program, and like honestly just like soul searching for graduate students who are extremely privileged to be able to be paid to go to graduate school, and to do research to get a PhD, to where they could be interacting their community in a much more serious and important way for all society and not for what they get to put on their CV.
