To Unite, Educate, and Succeed in the areas of Engineering, Mathematics,
Science, and Technology
The Mission of Times2 Academy for Engineering, Mathematics, Science and
Technology is to address the critical state and national need for equitable
representation of African-Americans, Hispanics and Native Americans in
careers in mathematics, engineering and science. Times2 Academy endeavors to
create a learning environment where all children, but particularly students
of color, are exposed to challenging, real-world applications of
engineering, mathematics and science to elicit and solidify interests in
relevant careers, prepare students for academically rigorous work and build
students’ self-esteem to encourage their belief that they can succeed in
these career fields and in life.
