Afterschool STEM Program

What if your son could explore the mysteries of DNA science or molecular biology? Or learn how to create computer games? Or discover how to combat computer viruses?

Future Kings is a unique, year-long afterschool educational program that guides young men in grades 6-12 in underserved communities to explore exciting career opportunities in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).  We are a not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) approved organization.

We are changing lives through STEM education.

What’s So Unique About Future Kings?

Our program is unique for 4 reasons:

  • We teach college level STEM concepts at age appropriate levels. Students “deep dive” into the dynamic fields of DNA Sciences, Cybersecurity, Computer Game Design, and Custom Engineering.
  • Every 2nd and 4th Saturday, our students meet on a college campus and are taught by experts in their fields. If your child is unable to attend class on campus, virtual classroom opportunities are available.
  • Our participants not only learn advanced engineering concepts but also soft skills that will help them successfully gain employment in the 21st century.
  • Participants can become a Certified Ethical Hacker (Cybersecurity), Autodesk Certified Professional (Custom Engineering), or Certified Unity Professional (Computer Game Design).
More than 500 students have already experienced the Future Kings adventure since 2011! Our goal by 2021 is to serve 10,000 students and deliver 300 or more STEM majors to colleges and universities each year.

Where Young Men Learn 21st Century Skills

America needs more engineers. According to Department of Education, the U.S. will need to add 1 million more STEM professionals by 2022. Though more Black and Hispanic males now attend college, most do not graduate with STEM degrees. Future Kings is truly working to close the engineering gap for African American and Hispanic men.

Future Kings wants to teach and inspire the next Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerberg. 

What Our Students Have to Say

  • I believe that when Dr. Wright comes and talks to us about how we can manage our finances, he tells us how we can prosper by giving back to the community.

  • I really like the academic side of Future Kings because I like creating new things in life and learning technology stuff. It also brings out the artistic and creative side of me that I don’t really use that much.

    Kevin

  • I like the way that the Future King comes together to talk about what we like about something. I also like it when we talk about problems at school and how to solve them.
