All week, we’ve aired stories about two African-American high schoolers navigating through Georgia Tech’s first-ever Project ENGAGE, a program designed to bring more minorities into the “STEM” fields — Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. 
For this final component of the five-part series, I sat down in-studio for a conversation with Project ENGAGE co-founders Drs. Manu Platt and Robert Nerem.

[A transcript of the interview wouldn’t do it justice, so if you can, take a few minutes and listen.]
One thing I’ve struggled with in this series is how only two of the 12 ENGAGE scholars were able to make it onto the air. It’s a time issue. As it was, I struggled to keep each piece within time limits. All are amazing young people, bright in different ways, and each has a story worth sharing.
