K-12 educational programs have been our focus for over 30 years. To find out more information, send a message using the Contact Us form.

Electric Eagles Soar

ACES wrapped up the year strong hosting several online virtual STEAM CAPS sessions that enlightened many students about the career field of Electrical Engineering.

Our theme: "Electric Eagles ". We now have Electric Eagles in over 25 different states and 2 countries. Students learned the fundamentals of Electrical Engineering with a dynamic hands on, minds on workshops.

The students competed for prizes as they calculated the current using Ohm's law. The students were challenged to learn the basics of algebra using the equation I = V/R . The students who were able to calculate the voltage and resistance won a special gift.

The students were also introduced to African American Electrical Engineers and Computer Scientist who served as role models.

Special thanks to our supporters. Your vision and willingness to prepare this generation is commendable.

ACES welcomes partnerships with minority owned, woman, and veteran businesses. ACES also welcomes collaborations with other engineering, science and technology organizations.

What's UP???

Team, the online virtual STEAM Career Awareness Programs (CAPS) has just completed a successful year. We will open up the 20th online session 2026 (Stay Tuned).

We are continuing with the Electric Eagle's Introduction to Electrical Engineering and are procuring new supplies. One on One and Group sessions are still be arranged, please contact us.

The goals of the Electric Eagle's Program are:

• Teach the fundamentals of Electrical Engineering
• Emphasize the importance of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math (STEAM) careers.
• Empower students to become leaders and advocates for their education
• Provide mentors to students who wish to pursue STEAM careers
• Form a student network for peer support
• Provide scholarships
• Provide Assistance for Standardize Test

My aspiration is to become an Electrical Engineer. I plan on working on projects like electric boats or some great innovation. My experience at ACES really helped me get a step closer to my goals of becoming a great Electrical Engineer. If you aspire to become an Electrical Engineer like me, learn under ACES.

Gia Reynolds, Home School 5th grade, Las Vegas Nevada

I was inspired by the keynote speaker, Dr. John Foster and the Panelists, Mr. Demario Bassette, Dr. Tyrone Benson, and Dr. Rashaunda Henderson. I believe that I can become an Electrical Engineer if I do the work.

The materials that I received in the mail made the virtual hands on activities fun. Ms. Tory taught me how to use Ohm’s Law to calculate the resistance, voltage, and current in a closed circuit. I also learned the symbols of some electrical components and the anatomy of an Atom. I look forward to designing my own circuits someday, because I like inventing things.
