NSBE Hosted the 2011 SEEK Program in San Diego, CA!

The National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE), with more than 35,700 members, is one of the largest student-governed organizations in the country. Founded in 1975, NSBE now includes more than 394 College, Pre-College, and Technical Professional/Alumni chapters in the United States and abroad. NSBE’s mission is "to increase the number of culturally responsible black engineers who excel academically, succeed professionally and positively impact the community."

NSBE hosted the 2011 SEEK program in San Diego, California which sought to increase elementary school students’ aptitude in math and science and their interest in pursuing STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) career fields, by having them engage in interactive, team-based engineering projects. Sylvan La Mesa is proud to have had the opportunity to provide snacks for students attending the SEEK program led by NSBE members (black engineering students and technical professionals dedicated to pursuing and fulfilling the NSBE mission).

Check out Olivia Lewis, daughter of Sylvan La Mesa’s owner LaDreda Lewis, as she embarks on an engineering adventure at the 2011 SEEK program!
