TechCORE2 Fall 2018 Saturday Program Scholarships for
(4) H.S. Young Men in Philadelphia
TC2 Summer 2018 H.S. Interns
“African-American men are also underrepresented in the workforce much like women and other minorities. Data from a most recent census show that in 2010, African-American men made up 6.2% of the population between 18 and 64 years old. But in the same year, the NSF reported that African American men represented just 3% of scientists and engineers working in those fields. Many of the hurdles that prevent young, African-American men from pursuing careers in STEM fields sound familiar: lack of role models, resources and “relatability.” The solutions, too, mirror those used to entice more women to work toward STEM careers: Start teaching and engaging students sooner, and work to dispel the curse of self-doubt.” (http://yourblackworld.net/2017/05/02/black-men-stem-minority/)
