Out of the Black Box (OBB) is an ongoing workshop series developed by Neta Bomani and Bomani McClendon, and aimed at the introduction of electronic circuit making to school-aged children. The program teaches students about the logic of computation through artmaking. Projects include making sculptures with conductive clay, drawing with robots, and printing letters with voice-recording modules. OBB introduces elementary school children to STEAM topics in a fun, accessible, and collaborative environment with an added emphasis on engaging Black and Latinx students.

Traditionally, OBB has operated within face-to-face learning environments. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has revealed an urgent need for online resources. With their COSA micro-grant, Bomani and McClendon focused their attention on taking the OBB program online, by creating digital lesson plans to enable educators with digital tools and introduce more students to STEAM topics.
