Overview
Mission
We partner with public schools and community organizations to deliver targeted stem-focused educational programming for students. We empower students in under-resourced public elementary and middle schools by offering enriching out-of-school time learning experiences.
What it reported doing in 2025
The league program - we engage students in hands-on learning activities and inquiry-based experiences to foster creative thinking and confidence. We embrace an interdisciplinary approach to learning, encouraging students to apply stem concepts to real-world contexts.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of voting board members are independent.
