The National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) has added new cities (listed in red below) where they are offering their Summer Engineering Experience for Kids (SEEK) Program. SEEK is a FREE three week summer day camp program for current 3rd-5th grade students held Monday through Friday, 8:30 am and ending at 3:30 pm. The camps fill up quickly, so please have students register asap.
SEEK Camps now are currently scheduled in: Atlanta, Baton Rouge; Birmingham; Chicago,Detroit; Houston; Jackson, Kansas City; Los Angeles, New Orleans; Oakland, Pittsburgh; Sacramento, and Washington, DC.
The SEEK Program is designed to be a fun and engaging educational experience, led by NSBE engineering students and technical professionals dedicated to pursuing professional excellence and giving back to the community. The SEEK program utilizes a hands-on design curriculum. Students will work in teams, using their knowledge to solve problems and create products while discovering the underlying math and science principles involved in these processes. Each week, the students will take on a new project, culminating with a presentation, design competition and physical competitions that all parents are encouraged to attend.
Each SEEK site is typically held at a local elementary or middle school and hosts anywhere between 50 to 100 students per grade level for a total of 150 or 300 students per site. Approximately 35 to 50 Collegiate and Professional mentors manage, guide and facilitate the program though high quality STEM education across the United States each summer for SEEK.
SEEK Participants will:
- Be exposed to STEM through hands on engineering projects
- Be exposed to Collegiate STEM students
- Be exposed to the roles and responsibilities of engineers
- Be exposed to African American images in STEM
