Join Committee of 100 and The Asian American Education Project for a three-part series examining the rich contributions of Chinese Americans to U.S. society, both historically and in the present day. The content was sourced from Committee of 100’s report “From Foundations to Frontiers: Chinese American Contributions to the Fabric of America.”

Chinese Americans have found success in the fields of business and entrepreneurship and science and technology. Their ability to thrive in these industries has been impacted by immigration policy at different moments in American history, yet Chinese Americans have found ways to adapt and survive. In this workshop, participants will learn about early Chinese American contributions to business and STEM, and how they made progress in later decades up to the present. Participants will gain classroom resources for teaching these contributions in the classroom.

This workshop will be offered twice on Thursday, March 27  at 1pm and 7pm EST to accommodate educators in different time zones. Each session will present the same content.

This workshop series is facilitated by Ashley Chu from The Asian American Education Project.
