STEM Programs and Community Involvement

NSBE-MP provides different levels of programming for the community and its members through a variety of programs. NSBE TORCH (Technical OutReach and Community Help) Programs are designed to encourage students in grades K-12 and college to pursue a career in a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) or STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) field. This is done by volunteering at STEM and STEAM community events, presenting about having a STEM career at local schools, and providing scholarships for students in the Montgomery and River Region.

Career Day Presentations

Our members are glad to share the work that we do in our professional careers to the community through career day presentations. Pictured above is the career day presentation at Catoma Elementary School, part of the Montgomery Public School System, that NSBE-MP members did who work for the Alabama Department of Transportation presented information about their careers.

STEM Exhibitions and Presentations

At NSBE-MP, we believe in the power of showcasing our work and inspiring the next generation of STEM leaders. Our members actively participate in STEM exhibitions and presentations, where they have the opportunity to share their knowledge, experiences, and projects with students and the community.

Pictured above are two NSBE-MP members who participated in STEAMfest at Montgomery Academy. NSBE-MP was honored to be invited to this event, where our members engaged with students and educators to demonstrate the impact of STEM in real-world applications. Through interactive exhibits, presentations, and hands-on activities, we aim to ignite curiosity, foster creativity, and encourage a passion for STEM disciplines among young minds.

Christmas Angel Program

Each Christmas season, the Montgomery Professionals Chapter of the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) members come together to spread joy and cheer during the holiday season. Each year, we collect donations to purchase toys, clothes, gifts, and other items from children's Christmas wish lists.

Members of our NSBE chapter and those from the community, generously donate money towards buying these items, which are then distributed to children in need. Through the Christmas Angel program, we aim to make a positive difference in the lives of children and families in our community, ensuring that every child receives a special gift during the holiday season.
