  • STEM is something that students have to DO. Black males represent only 2% of the STEM workforce, highlighting a significant opportunity gap (NSF, 2019). 
  • Early STEM engagement can reduce dropout rates, which is crucial as Black males have the highest dropout rate among all demographic groups (U.S. Department of Education).
