Black Youth in Technology, Engineering and Science
WHOWE ARE
We are BYTES
The BYTES Network was formed to create a community of organizations supporting Black Youth in STEM in the Greater Toronto and Southern Ontario areas to increase levels of engagement in STEM occupations where representation is low and to grow representation in certain disciplines where the black population is virtually non-existent. The lack of representation in STEM occupations is reflected in poor economic growth and high rates of unemployment in our black communities. We exist to change that reality.
Our Vision
At BYTES, we strive to innovate, educate and inspire black students onwards to a better tomorrow through the enhancement of stem related training & mentorship programs. BYTES works to increase the pipeline of students pursuing science in K-12, Post-Secondary and Post-Doctoral Research opportunities and reduce the barriers and provide role-models, mentors and support.
