The graphic to the right tells our whole story. We are a diverse people - yet we have poor diversity in our STEM professions. The reasons may be historical, socio-economical, and cultural. It is imperative we correct our workforce representation where we can. Representation is a strategic advantage well beyond social justice - it injects innovation, fresh perspectives, and more talent into critical STEM professions and work roles.

The cost of entry into a STEM profession is a significant barrier to entry. High end computers, specialized software, and professional certification paths can increase the cost of pursuing STEM majors by tens of thousands of dollars more than pursuit of a non-STEM major.

Minority Empowerment Through Technology lowers barriers to entry by providing technological resources - computers, software, and certification support - to our nation’s minorities, women, and veterans.

Our Motivation

America faces a strategic crisis.  Due to socio-economic factors and foreign nations’ willingness to fund their own students, America is critically short of citizens in the sciences, technologies, engineering, and mathematical (STEM) fields.  Compounding this issue are high barriers to entry into these fields.  Disadvantaged minority students have difficulty obtaining the technical resources required to be competitive and successful in these STEM fields.

Our Vision

 America competes globally in advancing the sciences and engineering via a new generation of historically underrepresented scholars.

Our Mission

Minority Empowerment Through Technology provides necessary technology to American minority students majoring in STEM fields at historically underserved institutes of higher learning on a needs-basis.
