Our Mission & Vision
Mission: to foster scientific curiosity to build an innovative future.
What does that mean? We believe in:
- Every child learns best by doing, experimenting, and asking “why”
- Early, hands-on STEM builds confidence, creativity, and critical thinking
- Community partnerships unlock resources and inspiration that schools alone can’t provide
- Everyone, no matter where they are in the world, or how they live, deserves a chance to bring their ideas to life and make a change.
Why Do We Exist?
Knowledge alone doesn’t drive innovation—thinking does.
Schools teach raw facts and knowledge without honing the real, essential skills, like:
- Solving unexpected problems
- Optimizing design
- Persevering through setbacks
- Innovative design
- Working around existing barriers
- Opening new ways of doing things beyond tradition
…and so much more.
Our Plan & Timeline
Over the next 12 months, we’ll develop, pilot, iterate, and expand, laying the groundwork for a sustainable, scalable program in 2026.
- Q3 2025: Pilot programs, develop resources for high schoolers, and solidify structures
- Q4 2025: Run workshops, visit schools and libraries, expand high school modules, and onboard volunteers
- Q1 2026: Refine materials and resources, reach out to partners, and integrate more online tools (symposiums, guest speakers, etc.)
- Q2 2026: Develop a robust online pipeline, refine and reiterate based on feedback, and grow a stronger community
“Where is my money going?”
Don’t worry, we’re not scammers:
- Curriculum and workshop materials
- Reagents, printed guides, materials, and tools to make sure every student gets hands-on time.
- Maintenance and growth of our online databases and resources, so high schoolers can have access to everything they need to turn their ideas into reality.
- Outreach & Logistics
- Website maintenance
- Coordinating with public spaces, and securing quality space rentals so participants can learn in the best environment.
- Event attendance, so we can spread and grow our cause even further.
