Our purpose is to expose and engage black and brown youth. Our mission is to engage, identify and mold black and brown youth visionaries, pioneers, and technopreneurs in STEAM. According to the Pew Research Center, only 17 percent of Black and Brown people (2017-2019), obtain a job in the STEM workforce. To further enhance this issue, 1 in 10 STEM professionals is a minority woman. Our organization aims to provide proactive solutions to increasing black and brown youth in STEAM fields.

PBS STEAM conducts workshop courses, events and providing mentorship to the future innovators. Six -week workshop courses will be conducted, focusing on Animation, Video Game Design, Comics and Coding to develop youth in skill and comprehension. Monthly events such as college field trips and the Khem Fest will expose black and brown youth to STEAM opportunities, build networks and provide a new perspective of career possibilities. Weekly mentorship will be provided to guide black and brown youth, to overcome their adversities in achieving goals academically, emotionally, mentally and socially.
