Overview

Mission

To support and conduct educational, informational, and research activities at the intersection of the Maker Movement and the Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematic (STEAM) disciplines with the primary aim of encouraging youth, particularly those from underrepresented populations, to pursue STEM Education and related careers through the development of 21st Century skills.

What it reported doing in 2024

In 2024, the STEAM Engine organized and hosted two State of STEAM Roundtables to bring community leaders, companies, and organizations from across Oklahoma to convene over breakfast to discuss matters at the intersection of economic development, workforce development, PK-20 Education, and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math). Panelists shared about innovative programs aimed to address these multifaceted issues and participated in conversations to align resources across the state of Oklahoma.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 61% 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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and expenses are high relative to revenue.
