While aconsiderable amount has been written about the evaluation of formal STEM programs focusing onAfrican Americans, little research has been completed regarding the success of the many industry-sponsored and lead informal (out of school time) programs engaging African Americans toencourage interest in STEM-related careers. Smith [4] strengthens this argument by showing thedirect link between inadequate and appealing STEM education opportunities and the lack ofAfrican American students in STEM careers. Further, Seiler [5] reports that having a culturalengagement in program development is “a way to reverse the power structure of school, which hasbeen oppressive to urban African American students” (p.2
