OUR MISSION

The Hidden Genius Project trains and mentors Black male youth in technology creation, entrepreneurship, and leadership skills to transform their lives and communities.

OUR VISION

Black male youth demand, and are working towards, a future where their genius is celebrated, realized, and shines every day and is no longer hidden, suppressed or belittled.

THE FUTURE IS TECH.

STEM employment opportunities have become the fastest growing segment of jobs in the U.S, with 71 percent of which involving computing.

At The Hidden Genius Project, we prepare Black male youth to participate in and meaningfully contribute to the 21st Century, global, tech-economy.
