Hosted by Imhotep Legacy Academy ILA invites the public to view the Black Innovators in STEM Exhibition. This exhibition was developed and curated by Mr. Francis Jeffers of the Canadian Multicultural Inventors Museum and is on loan to ILA. The exhibit displays the contributions of Black people to STEM throughout history—from Ancient Egyptians through to contemporary scientists, inventors, and engineers, and features personalities from a library of 200 panels. The Exhibition aims to inspires Black youth to see themselves as part of the history of STEM worldwide. Significance of the Exhibit The Black Innovators in STEM Exhibition enables individuals to increase their awareness of the contributions of persons of African heritage to STEM. Black youth are able to see the contributions made to STEM fields by persons who look like they do, which may strengthen their belief in their own ability to make similar contributions. The exhibit also helps to dispel prejudices and stereotypes that may be held by non-Black youth and adults within the school environment. This exhibition will be on display throughout the Innovation Week.
