Overview

Mission

Our mission is to provide every student with an opportunity to participate in STEM learning experiences.

What it reported doing in 2024

Experiential has led the development of the xrp (experiential robotics platform), a 3d printed robotics kit that can be locally produced for less than the cost of a textbook. We have distributed more than 20,000 of these kits around the world, and have developed supporting materials including instructional guides, curriculum, and summer camp programs. Our team is also working on new resources including expansion packs for the xrp, an agriculture automation training platform agxrp and an ai education kit.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 90% 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
