Black Males Navigating And Succeeding In STEM Pathways
Welcome to the Black Males in Engineering website. This website pulls together a series of five short videos and complementary interactive handouts to aid Black males’ journeys toward success in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) studies and careers.
Whether you are a parent or caregiver, teacher, college administrator, faculty member, policy-maker, or Black male student, this website and its resources are for you.
Each of the five videos tells a piece of a larger story related to Black male STEM pathways and possibilities. View the tabs that are most appropriate for your needs. As you will hear in the videos, no one says that the journey to support Black males will be easy, but it is worth it!
