Why a technology center?
A digital divide is an economic inequality between
groups in terms of access to, use of, or knowledge
of information and communication technologies. Black
and Latino groups combined account for 23 percent of
the U.S. population between the ages of 22 and 75,
but they are only 6 percent of practicing engineers.
The more frequently a student has access to S.T.E.M.
education, the more opportunities they have to gain
skills that can lead to careers in Math & Science
related fields. The Baldwin Hills Technology Center will
produce a more educated minority workforce.
Why a technology center?
The Bureau of Labor & Statistics project that the fastest growing
careers will be S.T.E.M. related.
