"An Oasis in the Desert".
Watch this 8 minute video detailing the beginnings of the Xposure Science, Technology, Finance and Employment Institute for Youth. Listen to Executive Director Raymond L. Thomas Jr. talk passionately about why he felt the need to create an outside the box educational program that exposes children as young as 5 yrs. of age to bank books, science, technology, employment skills and the stock market.
Listen to parents like Ms. Tracy Brown, Mr. C.D. James and PS 81 Principal Ms. Cheryl Ault talk about how a program like Xposure can help change the fortunes of our young people as well as the communities in which they live.
"It is my belief that our number one job as teachers, parents and a community is to expose our young people to the infinite number of opportunities they have to become productive, successful citizens in this great country".

Your child will learn the value of working for and saving a dollar. Every student in the Xposure Science, Technology, Finance and Employment Institute must save 75% of their earnings in an account they will open and maintain at a local bank. They will take regular trips to the bank to deposit earnings and sharpen their financial skills.
Your child will also learn about and begin investing a portion of their earnings into their own stock portfolio!! Yes, your child will own shares of companies like McDonald's, NIKE, APPLE, GOOGLE, etc.
Executive Director and Founder Raymond L. Thomas Jr. states, "Financial literacy is a must in our inner-city communities if we are to break the shackles of just being consumers. We must begin to own companies, manufacture goods and begin saving and investing for our future. We must take charge of our destiny."

Students or Doctor ________ as they are referred to in our labs learn about the scientific method, the invention process, how to conceptualize inventions that will solve real-life problems, trial and error strategies, and how to use a variety of scientific tools and equipment.
Technology - Students learn about computers, the internet, and major office software which are commonly used in the workplace. Almost all their work is done on computers in the program. In addition, students use SmartBoard technology, an interactive classroom tool that is used in many colleges and professional schools.
Xposure has also created a series of SmartBoard-based lessons including an interactive series of games which reinforce spelling, comprehension, and reading.
