For five decades, DAPCEP has worked to expand access to STEM education and create opportunities for young people across Detroit and Southeast Michigan.

What started decades ago has grown into a lasting legacy — one that has helped students discover their potential, explore careers in STEM, and envision possibilities beyond the classroom.

And the impact doesn’t stop when a student leaves the program.
