Central Alabama NSBE Jr. Chapter
NSBE Jr. is the formal membership category for members in grades K though 12th of the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE). NSBE Jr. makes up an integral portion of the Pre-College Initiative (PCI) Program that is geared towards inspiring and igniting a passion for STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), as well as creating an atmosphere for students to develop valuable leadership skills. The mission of the PCI program is to "lead the world in enhancing pre-college students' academic, technical and leadership skills to maximize their success in life." The Central Alabama NSBE Jr. (CANSBEJr.) program provides activities and events that promote our mission, as well as help students discover firsthand how engineering and technology relate to the world around us and the excitement that it brings!!
