| Introduction: The National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) along with its partners: the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE); the Society of Women Engineers (SWE); the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE); the American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES); commits to expand the accessibility of its Summer Engineering Experience for Kids (SEEK) Camps to engage at least 100,000 minority children over the next five years. SEEK is a free three week summer camp, which is free to children from grades 3-12. During the 3 week period the children are exposed to engineering via a hands-on curriculum called A World in Motion that was developed by the SAE. NSBE will also engage its college engineering student membership to serve as instructors and mentors to the children attending the SEEK camps with a goal of drastically increasing the number of students from underrepresented groups pursuing STEM field studies and careers. |
