By Megan SaylesAFRO Staff Writermsayles@afro.comThe Becoming Everything You Are (BEYA) STEM Conference will return to the Baltimore Convention Center on Feb. 12-14, celebrating excellence in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields. Keeping with a recent tradition, the conference will offer a digital twin experience, allowing individuals to attend virtually or in person. Tyrone Taborn, founder of BEYA and CEO of Career Communications Group (CCG), said the conference has sharpened its focus to meet rapidly evolving labor needs. “We have elevated and refocused all of our attention to three areas in workforce training: artificial intelligence, quantum computing and cybersecurity,” said Taborn. At the time, Black students were significantly underrepresented in STEM programs, particularly because they lacked access to them.
