Welcome to 2010-2011!

It is great to have an opportunity to kick off another year. As I look back over the previous year we were able to accomplish so much in spite of limited funding. How did we do it? We succeeded because of the dedication of our volunteers. We are so proud of our students. 69% of the seniors are starting their engineering college programs and over 30% are attending Maryland Universities.

With all of the accomplishments there is still work to be done. This year we are introducing cyber-security activities. Cyber-security impacts our country both commercially and within the federal government. We recognize that the students, teachers and parents need to become more cyber aware and we plan to do our part in reaching all stakeholders. We also know that math still remains a problematic area for many students so we are expanding the calculator robot activity by offering a Saturday STEM academy to be held at Morgan State University. Visit the MD MESA website to learn more about the new learning opportunities we are offering.
