About Ask Uncle Neil
Our Story
I had two thoughts when I created the Ask Uncle Neil series: Black people are underrepresented in the STEM fields, and children are naturally inquisitive. By marrying both ideas, Ask Uncle Neil was born.
Through 9-year-old Anthony asking his Uncle Neil questions about the world around him, and Uncle Neil using science to answer the questions, Anthony becomes more excited about the possibilities. I want Black children to see themselves through Anthony and become excited alongside him, dreaming bigger than they ever have before. I want them to see that STEM can be for them, too.
