Math Tutoring & Enrichment

Building Confidence...

The elementary school years are a critical juncture for girls & students of color alike, when a love of math must be encouraged and nurtured so the fear of math can be be overcome. Children ages 8-10 don't dislike math, they just haven't had the right math mentors to help them see how truly fun math is!   Math Tutoring & Enrichment, for students in grades K-10, is a non-competitive space where learning math is fun, social and supportive, so that every student becomes a lifelong math learner.    


Coming for Fall 2021!

**Additional nominal fee may apply 

Fall in Love With Math!

In this club atmosphere, children are able to enjoy playing together and improving their math skills.  In small groups to build camaraderie, students of all ability levels work collaboratively, build problem solving skills and positive attitudes about math.  The outcome? Dynamic Mathematical Visionaries: Students who embrace math challenges and expand their academic and career opportunities in the future.   

Prep for Math Counts!

Students in grades K-10 have the opportunity to receive personalized tutoring & play fun math games in a non-competitive, social environment.  Having this hands-on math reinforcement will build confidence and instill a love of math in preparation for Math Counts & joining a middle school team!  The goal is to make our kids Fit4Algebra: ensure they're in tip-top shape for Algebra by 7th grade, by using an engaging mix of activities to ensure their math muscles are strong and fit!

Microsoft Code Academy

Tech Professionals are in High Demand

STEM fields of science, technology, engineering, and math are among the fastest-growing and highest-paying careers for college graduates, and with the pervasiveness of technology in our daily lives, learning to code is increasingly seen as foundational and essential for learning—not unlike reading, writing, and arithmetic.  


**Included in chapter dues & open to ALL DMV NSBE, Jr. Members.

Coding is an Essential Skill

With a rapidly shifting economy, educators and business leaders have increasingly recognized that Computer Science is a “new basic” skill necessary for economic opportunity.  In a January 2016 Weekly Address, President Obama stated, “In the new economy, computer science isn’t an optional skill – it’s a basic skill, right along with the three “Rs.”  


Nine out of ten parents want it taught at their children’s schools; sadly, however, only about a quarter of our K-12 schools offer computer science - and twenty-two states don’t even allow it to count toward a diploma. Giving all DMV NSBE, Jr. members the opportunity to learn to code early, helps close the digital divide and ensure a level playing field in this new economy.  

Coding for Every Age!

In partnership with B@M (Blacks at Microsoft), our coding classes are open to all DMV NSBE, Jr. members, grades K-12. Younger kids can learn coding fundamentals with easy to use drag and drop technology, while older kids can dive into HTML, JavaScript and Python for more advanced programming.  Your future programmer will move from just playing Roblox and Minecraft to designing their own video games, apps & websites!

Teenagers are often more comfortable communicating electronically than speaking face to face. Yet many events in teenagers’ lives require interpersonal communication skills to be resolved successfully. Now, more than ever, they need guidance in developing their communication skills. 


As a world leader in communication and leadership development, Toastmasters help  members improve their speaking and leadership skills . 


The Youth Gavel Club is a Toastmasters club for students under 18.   Similar to adult Toastmasters clubs, youth members perform the same roles, and use the same manuals (CC & CL) as Toastmasters clubs.  What's great is that participants increase their self-confidence as they become better speakers and leaders.

Participants on the Step Team will learn how the body is used to make sounds through clapping, stomping and spoken word. While learning modern-day stepping, students will  uses elements of tap dancing, break dancing, gymnastics and Afro-Caribbean dance.  With the DMV NSBE, Jr. Step Team, the legacy of the art will continue to grow and reach new generations of young people who want to become our future scientists, engineers & STEM innovators.

Engineering, Art & Design (TBD)

Sneaker Design Concepts & Process Workshop

This class introduces students to a guided investigation of basic design concepts and techniques of visual organization. Design is the creative planning and execution of visual communication. One learns to create a combination of shapes, forms, words and images, in order to reproduce them in some flat medium (illustration board, paper or fabric ) or in a three-dimensional form/shape in order to convey information to a targeted audience. 


All design has a purpose or function. Usually its' purpose is to explain something aesthetically, to express, inform, and influence the thoughts and actions of its audience.  Through Design Process, students will be introduced to functional art work, intended to communicate information and complex design concepts. Students will employ a variety of  mixed-media techniques (drawing with pencil, paint and paper, etc.) in a studio environment. 

Real World Engineering & Art

Just like the top designers & graphic artists of world renowned companies, DMV NSBE, Jr members will: 

  • Investigate the Visual Elements of Form and Basic Design Principles as applied to two dimensional problem   solving .  
  • Be a constructive participant in the workshop.  Each student’s active presence benefits the creative environment of the entire workshop.    

This enrichment class is open to mature and artistically focused 5th-12th Grade students (and their parents) who can be utilize in-workshop time towards the completion of directed exercises and/ design projects.  


  • Students should respond with critical observation to their peer’s work as well as their own.  Students should utilize the resources of the class to supplement individual understanding and classroom involvement.
  • Understand the value and necessity of seeking your own answers to questions concerning design skills and concepts.
  • Understand and skillfully apply various techniques in the production and presentation of art/design work.
  • Demonstrate the ability to research solutions and resolve problems with ideas that communicate in an original and effective manner.

Designing & STEM Innovation

At the end of our semester long engineering & design process, students (and/or parents) will be able to demonstrate a working process utilizing techniques covered in our workshop: 

  • Level of involvement in the process. 
  • Strength of design (includes presentation/craftsmanship). 
  • Response to and use of critical suggestions in an effective manner.
  • Adherence to assigned parameters.

Black History Quiz Bowl

A Rich History, Culture & Heritage

 “A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin, and culture is like a tree without roots.”  ~Marcus Garvey

  

In an effort to encourage students to gain a deeper knowledge of their history and the amazing contributions that Africans and African-Americans have given to American society, the Black History Quiz Bowl was created as a a friendly competition to provide the opportunity to engage the community in supporting the efforts of youngsters as they gain significant knowledge which will encourage further study of the beauty & greatness of the African Diaspora.

Black History Quiz-Bowl Inspired

The Black History Quiz Bowl is a year-round program where children in grades K-12 learn the history of the African Diaspora that includes a friendly competition in February.  Divided into four, grade-level sections (K-2; 3-5; 6-8; 9-12), students form teams that study from an extensive resource packet that contains a myriad of information on the rich culture, heritage and accomplishments of Africans and African Americans - allowing students to build their knowledge, boost their self-esteem, and teach them the value of team work. 

If You Want To Go Far, Go Together...

Participants in Black History Quiz Bowl  will become more self-confident & grow in their self-esteem while also becoming well versed in their history.  Knowing the great men and women of their culture further equipped students with the tools to reach new academic heights.  Centered on a seventy-year period (1900's-2018), Black History Quiz Bowl will also build stronger generational relationships within families: participant's grandparents, great aunts & uncles will be able to serve as a major reference points for studying our rich history!


An added benefit of the Quiz Bowl is the emphasis on team learning - the same principles of positive sportsmanship learned in athletic activities. Team learning is important because to be successful, each member of the team must work together to learn all of the same information.   The team is strengthened as it shares information; strengthened to compete and better prepared to share their knowledge.
