And we believe that within that vast number of students is a sea of untapped potential.
Inner-city schools often lack the funding and resources to bring in outside topic educators and materials. We want to fill that gap and help teachers reach their students in new and engaging ways. With our teams of college-aged educators, we offer relatable perspectives on critical topics in today's world.
Our educators are researchers, students, and tinkerers within various STEM fields with a focus on alternative energy. Our workshops are carefully constructed to keep your students' attention and demonstrate simple take-home ideas. We're excited to help the students bring out the passion that we all know is in there!
