Komal is giving students tools to develop science literacy for an increasingly science-focused world. She works to give all students the opportunity to have lab-based science education by developing methods to use cell phones to mimic lab equipment, giving teachers resources to support them and help them to teach science with a focus on developing critical thinking and data analysis skills, and by encouraging municipalities to focus on allocating resources to science education.
La idea nueva
Komal is democratizing science to give students of all backgrounds access to high-quality science education, and to change teachers’ and school districts’ mindsets to incorporate experimentation and laboratories into the classroom. Komal is changing school district’s relationship to science education, making it possible for all students to have access to an advanced level science education to prepare them for a world increasingly focused on STEM, and to prepare them for potential careers in science. She works with middle and high schools and municipalities in Chile, Mexico, and the USA to change the way science is taught. Her vision is for all students to have a science education that involves practical laboratories so that students can see the real-life implications of science, develop critical thinking
