This project brings educational materials for both students and teachers into the classroom as well as online learning environments. Our full package of digital educational materials includes our innovative and interactive textbook, syllabi, assessment and testing materials, labs and other hands-on projects, and other online learning tools. Our student-centered, hands-on curricula are designed to motivate college-bound and undergraduate college students to pursue STEM collegiate majors and professional careers. Our flexible curriculum is built as a modular series which can be tailored to fit instructors existing lesson plans and timetables, and can be made available in most common Learning Management Systems (LMSs) such as Blackboard, Canvas, and Schoology. These resources provide science teachers with everything they need to start teaching nanotechnology at their institutions, whether as a stand-alone class or integrated into another science class. And our curriculas mix of interactive and multimedia content with applications to real-world problems gives every student something to connect with. All materials for high school are aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).Progress and impact: By the end of 2024 Fall Semester, dozens of students were enrolled in nanotechnology courses that utilized our curriculum across America and around the world. Moreover, about 7500 students were enrolled in our free online course, offered in both English and Spanish....
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.

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 liabilities are high compared with assets.
