One project examined how the STEM fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics tie into gender and gender expression.
Another involved interviewing out LGBTQ+ professionals working in science, science education, and science advocacy.Curriculums used to educate museum employees about transgender acceptance received an update.
And how docents at science museums use gender-specific terms when talking about the natural world was examined to see how they could incorporate more inclusive language.Those are just a few examples that the first-ever class of 13 STARS interns aged 18 to 24 at the Exploratorium along San Francisco's Embarcadero worked on over the last six months.
