ROCKETS ROBOTICS & ARITHMETIC

Economic growth requires technological innovation. Technological innovation requires the advancement of engineering. And today, more than ever, advancement of the engineering profession depends on the work of the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE). NSBE is committed to widening the pool of engineering talent from Black communities around the world. In the United States, where African Americans and other people of color will soon outnumber other groups in the workforce, NSBE is expanding the pipeline to engineering careers from third grade through graduate school. The tools used to accomplish this expansion are
NSBE’s programs and activities, which are designed to nurture Black students’ and professionals’ interest and aptitude in engineering, expand their professional horizons and lead the nation to greater economic prosperity fueled by innovation. All engineers and all Americans benefit from NSBE’s dedication to its mission: to increase the number of culturally responsible
Black engineers who excel academically, succeed professionally and positively impact the community.

ANNUAL CONVENTION
The largest gathering of NSBE’s membership and partners, the Annual Convention, attracts more than 9,000 attendees
each year. Staple convention events include a two-day Career Fair, College Fair, and Graduate School Fair; Professional
Development Workshops; General Sessions; Panel Discussions; the Technical Professionals Conference and the annual NSBE
Golden Torch Awards Ceremony. The Annual Convention mobile app and Twitter feed help attendees keep track of the event’s
hundreds of educational and networking opportunities. R3 will be sending a delegation of students to the annual convention March 25-29, 2020 in San Antonio, TX!

​

Leading up to this year's annual convention, we will be seeking input and assistance from family and community members. This is our inaugural year as an NSBE Jr chapter, and we want to kick things off with a bang!
