The Pre-College Initiative (PCI) program works to stimulate interest in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) careers. Our PCI program encourages Grade 9–12 students to attend college pursuing technical degrees by showing students how engineering and technology relate to the world around them through the excitement of academic excellence, leadership, technical development and collaboration.
Participate in NSBE’s PCI programs by becoming a NSBE Jr member. NSBE Jr membership is available to all students in grades 6-12.
Mini Seek Camp
“Mini Seek Camp” (MSC) is the less intense version of the NSBE SEEK camp that took place Spring 2012 at Porter Elementary in San Diego. Because of its success replication and expansion of the mini-camp concept to other schools is on the move.
