Dear Parents/Guardians:

The National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) will be offering its first Summer Engineering Experience for Kids (SEEK) Camp, a three week day camp for elementary school students currently in grades 3-5. This is an all day commuter program.

enrichment program is available for all students who are not required to attend summer school.

Through this program each student will:

Increase their knowledge in math, science, and technology through engagement in interactive, team based activities designed around math and science educations standards
Have greater knowledge of and interest in science, technology, engineering and math
Know how to learn
