PCI NSBE, Jr.
Chapter of the Year
Dynamic Mathematical Visionaries
DMV NSBE, Jr.
The DMV NSBE, Jr. Chapter is a Pre-College Initiative (PCI) Program of the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) which is designed to stimulate the interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields, or STEM. The goal is to encourage students in grades K–12 to attend college and pursue technical degrees. Students are exposed to engineering through a year-round STEM program that includes coding and public speaking, along with competitions in robotics and math.
Mathematics Mastery
Math is the basis of all things STEM. Without math proficiency students will have difficulty being successful in engineering, medicine & other STEM related endeavors. DMV NSBE, Jr. Chapter’s PCI program will provide activities to help students discover first-hand how math, engineering and technology relate to the world around them and discover the excitement of academic excellence, leadership, technical development and teamwork.
Preparing for the Digital World!
In addition to math proficiency & robotics competitions, we prepare children for success in the digital world by teaching them how to code with our Microsoft Code Academy. Students can start with Scratch and learn HTML/CSS, JavaScript, Python and code real world projects!

Before making the Highest of the Seven Hills his new home and choosing
Florida A&M University over schools like Harvard, Yale, UC Berkely, UChicago, and amazing HBCU's like Howard, NCAT, Morehouse and Hampton Universities, Curtis Lawrence, III served as DMV NSBE, Jr's Chapter President and was an active member of NSBE, Jr for ten years.
As President of our NSBE, Jr Chapter, Curtis worked with the chapter advisors to organize STEM Outreach with local elementary, middle and highschools and annual college trips while leading his VEX Robotics Team to advance to the VEX Worlds Championships. Dual-enrolled full-time in the George Washington University Early College Program, Curtis' love for STEM transferred through his peer mentoring efforts and encouraging 5-11th graders to consider a career in a STEM field through early college prep exposure.

Noah Yared, Mechanical Engineering @ CalTech
Meet Noah Yared, son of DMV NSBE, Jr. Chapter Advisor, Sehine Gizaw. Noah is currently an Aerospace Engineering, Freshman at CalTech University and alumni of School Without Walls HS, in DC -
Class of 2018.
As a senior at Walls, Noah was extensively involved in STEM, having joined and gained leadership positions in nearly all the STEM clubs at Walls. Noah’s passion for STEM exceeded the walls of HS, with him taking classes with university students at George Washington University (GWU) while concurrently working with professors as a research assistant at the university’s transportation engineering lab to help develop intelligent driverless cars. His extensive involvement and avid work in STEM allowed him to hold several engineering internships at Yale University, As a QuestBridge Scholar, Noah received approximately $300,000 in scholarship to attend California Institute of Technology - Caltech, the 3rd highest ranked university in the world after Oxford and Cambridge.
Before heading off to CalTech, Noah was dedicated to helping our Chapter President start DMV NSBE, Jr.
