Unreasonable Kids College is a Norfolk Police mini-grant recipient

NORFOLK, Va. - Amzeal -- Nine times out of the ten, the media is clogged with stories of young, Black men creating chaos on the street, which leaves many assuming the worst. However, Unreasonable Kids College (UKC) set to smash that assumption by highlighting the strengths of #NORFOLK20STRONG through STEM and social entrepreneurship.

The Founder of UKC, Ateba Whitaker, states, "I am on a mission to support these young men through TRUTH STEM Entrepreneurship Club to show that they are not a hindrance to the Norfolk community but - the solution."  Mrs. Whitaker continued, "Thanks to the Norfolk Police Foundation, Nauticus, KC Social Impact Lab, 757 Startup Studios, Hampton Roads Small Business Development Center, SVT Robotics, and the field experts volunteering to coach and support the #NORFOLK20STRONG to compete in the Conrad Challenge. Also, special thanks to the Conrad Foundation and their sponsor Dell Technologies for donating 20 Dell Latitude 3320 laptops, one for each participant, to help prepare for the competition and keep for good to use for school. Through the TRUTH STEM Entrepreneurship Club programming and preparation for this competition, these young men have an opportunity to develop and realize their potential through science, technology, engineering, and math to become change agents in their schoolhouse and community in which they live."
