The Circle of Excellence addresses the multifaceted concerns of educational inequality in STEM experiences and outcomes. Since 2017, the program has met to provide challenging math and science enrichment to Black and Brown youth (over 300 hours of service work). During 2020, various virtual opportunities were provided to participants featuring STEM-related field trips, STEM guest speakers (usually African American men in STEM for the benefit of role modeling), coaching for academic competitions in science, and tutoring. Work with Circle of Excellence families has been multi-year, longstanding, and consistent. Regular use of the Zoom platform makes our current continuation of activities possible.
