The Black S³ program is a hands-on, community-rooted STEAM initiative that prepares underrepresented HS students for college and careers in science, technology, engineering, arts, and math. Through project-based learning, mentorship, and real-world industry exposure, students build both the academic foundation and personal confidence needed to thrive in high-demand fields.
