Th Smart Bunch Animation: Can Black Children Learn Science and technology?

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.
