NACME (the National Action Council for Minorities in Engineering) has provided leadership and support for the national effort to increase the representation of successful African American, American Indian and Latino women and men in engineering and technology, math- and science-based careers.

This can significantly limit their college cirriculum and long term career options. We needed to inspire and convince students to continue studying math and science throughout high school, instead of opting out.
