Community Discount
Help Support Our Vision for Accessible STEM Education and Receive Discounted Fees!
Our Vision: STEM Learning for Everyone
We believe every child can thrive with early exposure to a quality STEM Program. The challenge, however, is that STEM programs are often expensive to run. When done right, they require extra staff to facilitate activities and special equipment to give students hands-on learning opportunities. Because of this, programs are often costly and accessible only to families of a certain means.
We're looking to change this approach by offering a Community Pricing Model that leverages the contributions of parents to help offset program costs. For parents willing to offer their volunteer time or lend us equipment through the course of the program, we're willing to offer a significantly discounted enrollment fee for their kids.
Our goal is to create a more affordable and higher quality STEM program -- one that benefit all families in our community by drawing on the strength of our community.

Two Ways for Parents to Contribute
Teaching Volunteers
Assist our instructors during class (no technical experience required) for at least ONE session during the season's run per enrolled student. This is a great way to see how we teach and connect with your child's learning experience.
Equipment Lenders
Lend an old laptop, tablet, or other piece of required equipment for students to use during the program. This may be equipment you already have or equipment you purchase for your child to continue using after our program ends.
How To Apply
