Building a toolbox for science and math literacy

I'm very excited: an opinion article I wrote about why we need more exposure early on for science and math education is published in the San Diego Union-Tribune today! The basics:

2) Learning math is like investing in a good toolbox to build a house.

3) Having a mentor/having a challenge is invaluable.
