For 28 years, I have worked with black engineering and science college students. I have found engineering to be one of the most challenging course of study at any college. When I have exposed students to engineering at the high school level it has created enthusiasm about learning. The National Society of Black Engineers have done a great job of reaching K-12 students and exposing them to engineering. All it takes is creativity on the part of schools and corporations to support science programming in the African American Community. It takes partnership. I teamed up with a company called CGI mate to create an animated series of stories focused on science, technology, engineering and math. you can "Like it on Facebook at

All of the new jobs will incorporate robotics and computers and African Americans must pursue higher levels of education. I have found out that students who participate in science and technology programs graduate from high school at a higher rate
