Abstract: This article examines the critical role of representation in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) media for Black children, tracing its historical roots to the Clark doll experiment and the Brown v. Board of Education case, which highlighted how racialized portrayals affect Black children's self-worth and identity. It emphasizes the importance of culturally sustaining pedagogy and STEM media literacy practices that empower Black youth to critically engage with and reshape STEM narratives, fostering strong STEM identities and equitable participation. The article highlights characters like King T’Challa (Black Panther), Moon Girl, and Princess Shuri as examples of positive representation that inspire Black students by connecting cultural heritage with STEM excellence. Ultimately, it calls for systemic changes in STEM education and media to create inclusive environments where Black children can see themselves as innovators and leaders, thereby promoting diversity and equity in STEM fields.
