Overview
Mission
STEM and Art Education
What it reported doing in 2025
Sustainable STEM Program: Robots & Coding: provides professional development and equipment loaning to teachers in Title 1 or Community schools to provide robots and coding lessons to students. We reached 7 Title 1 schools and 1,500 k-5th grade students in 2025. The program is ongoing.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up and expenses are high relative to revenue.
