Overview

Mission

The purpose of the organization is to teach "stem" (science, technology, engineering, and math) fabrication technologies and business skills to students, teachers, and community members, and empower them to use these skills in innovation, design, entrepreneurship, and art ("idea") and access future employment, entrepreneurial, and education opportunities.

What it reported doing in 2023

Since our inception in 2017, we have completed several 3-day professional development sessions and fully trained 30 teachers from 5 school districts in stem (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) techniques.we have implemented 15 "spark carts" outfitted with cnc machines and 3d printers into classrooms in ventura, oxnard, and santa barbara.young learners who might never have been granted the opportunity to interact with powerful creative technologies like 3d printing and cnc routing are now being given the chance to explore creative learning. These trainings have provided access to thousands of students, and have made a serious impact on the democratization of creative capabilities in the classroom while giving these students (many from economically-challenged environments) a marketable skill for use in advanced learning and post-education employment.

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.
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. No material rating questions were generated from the available inputs.
