Our Mission
PSX finds it an integral mission to bring S.T.E.M. to Black communities in order to give the youth exposure to opportunities outside of their neighborhoods. Our mission is to provide minority students with the tools and information needed to grow their interest and awareness in the STEM fields. PSX aims to connect students’ passion , interest, and hobbies with STEM careers and entrepreneurship. As we continue our work to eliminate the disparity in STEM, we look for more to join our mission and initiatives to increase STEM outreach in predominantly Black communities.
Our Vision
Our Vision is to develop the next generation of Black STEM leaders, CEOs, moguls, executives, and entrepreneurs. The hope is that one day all students in our cohort embody such a high level of knowledge, skills and STEM dispositions that they can go on pursue their creativity and passions through science, technology, engineering or math!
Our Why
As minorities in the STEM field, we recognize the disparity and the under-recruiting of minority groups. As of 2015, the National Action Council conducted a study reporting a clear breakdown of who was working in science + engineering.
Amongst other minorities, the Black community are the least represented in science & engineering occupations.
Our Strategy
Deep Dive into STEM
The Project STEM X host an after school program to increase STEM engagement and involvement to ATL students. The team explores STEM with students through an interactive and informative presentation model. Topics like STEM careers, entrepreneurship, STEM in sports & music, and much more will be explored in our program! The team even organizes fun STEM workshops & activities for students to dabble in each field!
Provide Resources
In order to keep momentum, the Project STEM X team curates meaningful impact even after our program session! Our website is home to incredible STEM resources + student programs. Students are able to apply/sign up for amazing STEM opportunities that may interest them. Students are then able to gain more hands on knowledge and experience in STEM.

Build a pipeline Of STEM students
Students who display committed interest in pursuing the STEM field will be placed in a Fall/ Spring cohort to ensure guidance in the STEM field. PSX finds it imperative to build a community of Black STEM students to maintain passion, interest, and learning. The STEM X team will assist with internship , apprenticeship & summer program applications. Contact us here for more information about our cohort opportunities:
