This event is part of CCG’s ongoing effort to bring people into the metaverse, a combination of multiple elements of technology, including virtual reality, augmented reality, and video where users "live" within a digital universe.  

“We are eager to celebrate the accomplishments of Black people in our military and excited to team up with the NNOA for this event,” Dr. Tyrone Taborn, CEO of Career Communications Group, said. “CCG is honored to welcome Dr. Hampton to our platform.” 

STEM City is a platform that helps promote the growth and flourishment of underrepresented communities by providing opportunities to network and receive information which is essential to the advancement of minorities in our society. This platform will serve as a medium to provide healthy living tips and advice to attendees during our events on the platform and beyond.
