This paper is a reflection on Bobby Habig, Preeti Gupta, and Jennifer Adams' article . The article examines the significance of community cultural capital and the need for informal STEM institutions to engage more deliberately with the knowledge and lived experiences that youth bring to programs they participate in. In my response, I question whether the informal science institution of study had changed in response to these young people. As a 'science insider,' I explore how research experiences in informal science education institutions such as museums are tightly bounded by and connected with ancient European scientific practices that limit a deep embrace of community cultural wealth. If the aim is for youth to develop their science identities, then these informal science education institutions need to question what kind of science people they are asking youth to become. I consider how informal science education institutions might remake themselves as , where interrogation of the dominant Eurocentric norms of can be challenged and transformed.
本文是对博比·哈比格、普里蒂·古普塔和詹妮弗·亚当斯文章的反思。该文章探讨了社区文化资本的重要性，以及非正式的科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）机构更有针对性地参与年轻人带到他们所参加项目中的知识和生活经验的必要性。在我的回应中，我质疑所研究的非正式科学机构是否因这些年轻人而发生了变化。作为一名“科学 insider”，我探讨了博物馆等非正式科学教育机构中的研究经历如何紧密地受限于并与古老的欧洲科学实践相联系，而这些实践限制了对社区文化财富的深入接纳。如果目标是让年轻人发展他们的科学身份，那么这些非正式科学教育机构需要质疑他们希望年轻人成为什么样的科学人才。我思考了非正式科学教育机构如何能够重塑自身，成为一个可以对占主导地位的欧洲中心主义规范进行质疑和变革的地方。
