_____
The Black History STEM Celebration 2026 is a flagship cultural and educational event that brings together students, families, and Black professionals to celebrate Black excellence in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.

This special February edition complements our monthly Technology Workshop with a large-scale Black History Month celebration, designed to inspire confidence, cultural pride, and leadership in young innovators.

Students will explore coding, AI, robotics, and data concepts, engage directly with Black professionals across STEM industries, and showcase their own ideas and projects in a supportive, high-energy environment.

What Makes This Event Unique

✨ Reverse Mentoring Experience 
In a powerful twist, students will teach professionals what they are currently learning in STEM, through coding demos, AI logic flows, or robotics challenges, while professionals share career journeys, encouragement, and real-world insights. This two-way learning model builds confidence, ownership, and leadership.

✨ Representation in Action 
Students see and interact with Black role models in engineering, healthcare, AI, fintech, cybersecurity, and more reinforcing that they belong in these spaces.

✨ Hands-On Learning + Celebration 
The day blends learning, storytelling, cultural reflection, and community celebration in a way that is both educational and inspiring.

Program Highlights

  • Black professionals in STEM panel
  • Age-appropriate coding, AI, and robotics workshops
  • Reverse mentoring sessions (students + professionals)
  • Student innovation and coding showcase
  • Community dialogue, awards, and recognition
  • Parents and partners invited for key segments

Who Should Attend

  • Students (ages 8-17) interested in technology, innovation, and creativity
  • Parents and guardians who want to support their child’s STEM journey
  • Community members that are passionate about education, culture, and equity
  • Stakeholders

Why This Matters

This event is more than learning code; it’s about identity, confidence, and belonging. Students leave not only with new skills, but with the belief that their voices, ideas, and futures matter in STEM.

📌 Note: Event details and final agenda will be shared with registered families closer to the event date.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out. We look forward to celebrating "Past. Present. Future." with you.
