Show Summary:

Who is gifted and why does it matter? In this episode, Natasha and Claire reflect on their experiences of being rejected from an elementary gifted and talented program. They also discuss differences between motivation, exposure, and natural abilities and whether STEM education is only for those gifted students.

We would love to get to know you in person and that opportunity is coming soon! Come hang out with us in Houston, TX on Saturday February 10th, 2024 for a Friends of Vivify lunch. Let us know if you plan to join us by submitting your information here and we will send you all the details. Hope to see you there!
