PRE-COLLEGE INITIATIVE
The Pre-College Initiative Program is the focus of NSBE’s effort to promote college, academics, technology and leadership to pre-college students. Our primary goal is to encourage students in grades K–12 to develop an interest in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The mission of PCI is to lead the world in enhancing pre-college students’ academic, technical and leadership skills, in order to maximize their success in life. We need leaders to be the voice of PCI students. There are several capacities in which our professional members can contribute, and develop leadership skills while positively impacting our local community. Please see below for further details on PCI.
