Our Mission
DAPCEP’s mission is to increase the number of historically underrepresented students who are motivated and academically prepared to pursue degrees leading to STEM careers. We achieve this with supplemental academic programs for Pre-K to 12th grade students by partnering with schools and universities to develop and facilitate engaging curriculum. We are driven to increase the number of students who graduate from high school and pursue degrees and/or careers in STEM fields and serve 16,000 students annually.
-ALUMNI STORY-
“The program introduced me to STEM in a structured, engaging way and deepened my curiosity beyond what I had explored on my own. DAPCEP helped me envision a future in engineering—one I now live every day—and I remain grateful for its role in inspiring the next generation of Detroit’s STEM leaders.” – Shaina Turner, Advanced Industrial Engineer at Adient
