Afrofuturism STEM Day

Students and families, join on October 14, for the National Museum of African American History and Culture's Afrofuturism STEM Day. For centuries African Americans have re-imagined the futures and possibilities of black people across the globe through the dynamic lens of Afrofuturism. Coined in 1993, Afrofuturism envisions the future of Black life, liberated from societal oppression and earthly-bound constraints. During the STEM Day event, we will envision the future while peering through the lenses of space exploration, human health, and technology.

Activities include:

• Hands on STEM activities


• Presentations by STEM professionals


• Create your own superhero workshop


• and More
