USC Viterbi’s K-12 STEM Center’s NSBE Jr. chapter focuses on enhancing the education received by African-American and other pre-college students underrepresented in STEM as well as influencing these students to become tomorrow’s corporate executives, entrepreneurs, and leaders. NSBE Jr provides activities for students in grades 3-12 to discover firsthand how engineering and technology relate to the world around them and discover the excitement of academic excellence, leadership, technical development, and teamwork. Throughout the year, NSBE Jr. hosts competitions, activities, guest speakers, and field trips that excite our students and help build their STEM identity. 

USC Viterbi K-12 STEM Center also hosts the Southern California NSBE Jr Chapter in collaboration with the USC NSBE student chapter. For more information about the Southern California NSBE Jr Chapter, visit https://nsbejrsocal.org/
