READY! PRE-COLLEGIATE ENGAGEMENT: Helping NSBE Pre-Collegiate Be READY & RISE!
Pre-Collegiate students from K to successful high school graduates represents NSBE future’s promise and supply of potential collegiate students. However, systematically exposing, engaging and preparing these students across the early developmental and academic life span takes a variety of distinct engagement, academic/learning and enrichment strategies and tactics, best delivered by prepared, well-trained and energetic NSBE student and professional member- volunteers. The Pre-Collegiate Strategic Direction workgroup especially acknowledged the importance of segmenting this broad age-early interest continuum
into 4 core age/grade oriented groups - K-Grade 2, Grade 3rd-5th (SEEK Students) and Grades 6th-8th Grade (NSBE Jr.) and finally a high school grouping Grades 9th – 12th (NSBE Jr. Chapters and early Collegiate Chapter partner). Each group would receive di¢erent exposures, engagements, level of mentorship/tutoring or other supports. The end-game is to use this period to create deep academic readiness and career interest in Engineering academic programs and/or STEM careers.
