Dr. Willie R. Mackey "Traditional education prepares students to go to college to get a job. S.T.E.A.M. education inspires and prepares students to create a world!

"Use what's around you to make your world more beautiful":

African Proverb

We are environmental stewards!

Environmental Justice

What is the Green Movement

STEM vs STEAM

Environmental Sciences

It is a diverse scientific, social, conservation, and political movement that broadly addresses the concerns of the environment. Bright Green Environmentalism is based on the idea that new technologies and social innovation can provide the most success toward a sustainable healthier future.

The fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of age, race, national origin, or income, with respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws regulations and polices.

An interdisciplinary academic field that integrates physics, biology, geography, ecology, chemistry, plant science, soil science, atmospheric science, etc. to the study of the environment, and the solutions to environmental problems.

To Dr. Mackey, there was only S.T.E.A.M. Inspired by the Dogon, of West Africa at an early age, his love of science grew into a love of Math, Physics, Dance, Theater and the use of Voice.
