Disproportionate high school dropout rates, low graduation rates, limited exposure and access to science and math curricula results in African-American students having limited science and math literacy.
The PUSH Excel STEAM curriculum is provided in partnership with local technology partners who engage students in a number of technical areas including: introduction to HTML, creating web pages, app design, coding, and creating video games.

These projects enable the students to understand how digital tools are utilized in the business world.
