In a post-COVID world, there are many aspects of our lives that have been impacted. One of the most significant industries affected is K12 education. Teachers are leaving in a mass exodus, students are still balancing online and in-person learning, and parents are often doing the best they can to support their children.If we narrow that subject to computer science and STEM-related curriculum, it gets even tougher. There are several choices for learning but cost, the skill level of teachers, and the full participation of students play a major role in the efficacy of learning.Looking ahead to the 2023-2024 school year our team is looking at new and exciting ways that we can IGNITE a students' interest in cybersecurity and help them make positive choices along the way.Join Rachel Bracker, Youth Program Manager at CyberUp and a former educator herself, for a discussion on where we have been, where we are going, and how we will impact future cybersecurity professionals through volunteerism and modeling.

Oakland's Lake Merritt may be a few miles from the nearest redwood forest, but this tidal slough is not only a bustling community space for locals, unhoused neighbors, artists, musicians, and roller skaters — it's also a whole wildlife refuge abundant with native and migratory birds. For would-be birders, it's a gateway. We went birding (aka birdwatching) right here with naturalist and artist Clay Anderson. Turns out he practiced both passions working many seasons at Big Basin Redwoods State Park. Listen and learn about what it takes to be a birder, nature journaling, and birds of the redwoods. --- Guest Bio: Clayton Anderson is a Naturalist working in the field of Environmental Education for the past 15 years. Enchanted by the natural world and its history since he was a boy, becoming a Naturalist was a dream come true. After graduating from San Jose State University, he landed his first job as a Naturalist with LoveLife Environmental Education Program. Since then, Clay has worked for several environmental concerns including California State Parks, East Bay Regional Parks and Alameda Resource Conservation District. He is currently works for Golden Gate Audubon Society as the Youth Program Manager. When he is not introducing the youth to the magic of nature, he enjoys birding and creating art. Whether speaking through a microphone or painting with a brush, Clay loves the work he does and is always looking to promote and educate others about the wonders of the natural world and its cycles. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/savetheredwoods/message

This week's episode (episode 4) features a question posed by Mauro Sifuentes, a Youth Program Manager at a domestic violence nonprofit, about Sexual Violence, answered by six diverse guests (see below): Recent news is showing a big push to hold individuals accountable for acts of sexual harassment and sexual violence. Do you think that the degree of outrage toward these individuals is justified and will it help to prevent future harm? Or could this outrage also come from our cultural desire to punish individuals through legal and prison systems, never really getting to the roots of the problem - and what exactly are those roots? The guests featured in this episode are Lorri Sulpizio (CEO of the Lotus Leadership Institute), Justin Brooks (Director of the California Innocence Project), Mauro Sifuentes (Youth Program Manager at a domestic violence nonprofit), and Brian Kim (writer for California Magazine).
