The purpose of Curieus Incorporated is to empower underserved youths of ages 9-12 to become the changemakers of the future, especially in the STEM field. Through exposing and instilling science and technology in their childhood with hands-on classes and experiments, the program fosters a lifelong passion for learning.

What it reported doing in 2024
Recently, CurieusMinds subgroup has been founded to build interactive Social Emotional Learning experiences through hands-on activities and discussions. We have built an App that young students remotely can learn at their own pace with their parents or as a group. We would like to make the Curieus Stem and SEL education program sustainable, not only to benefit young elementary students, but also to empower older highschool students to make an impact in our community.
Operating 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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
