Black Science, Technology and Engineering Professionals (BSTEP)

The Black Science, Technology and Engineering Professionals (BSTEP), is a non-profit organization that was established in 2005. It is a non-profit Science, Engineering and Technology (SET) advocacy organization that seeks to promote the attainment of a critical mass of SET skills locally, regionally and internationally.

Apart from the goal of achieving competitive SET skills among the black community; we also aim to develop the Black SET Professionals to become responsible leaders within their respective areas of SET and in the general public domain.

YOUNG, BLACK, and GIFTED but no Opportunities
Advocating excellence in Science, Technology and Engineering In recent years we have seen major drives by many “actors” to encourage South Africans of Black origin to do Mathematics and Science at school level and to further pursue tertiary education in fields of Science, Engineering and Technology. Attempts in these areas are to be commended, but more is required.
