Transforming marginalized kids into STEM-fluent global leaders.
Our philosophy is to empower kids with knowledge of the natural world and technology and to instill in them a sense of responsibility to their communities and our planet. Through our blended and global approach to STEM education we hope to provide marginalized kids with applicable college and career-ready skills, and a larger understanding of the world outside of their immediate context. We want them to develop an appreciation of their place in the world their responsibility to themselves and their communities as global citizens. Our aim is to develop leaders that are driven to make a positive impact on the world and that have the knowledge and tools to turn their ideas into reality.
