Putting the 'C' in STEM

We are a registered, 501c3 non profit organization dedicated to inspiring, developing, and connecting the next generation of makers to CSTEM (Computing, Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) experiences. Board Members include industry leaders with experience from Intel, General Motors, Arizona State University Engineering Faculty, as well as University of Missouri Education Faculty. 

Our Vision, our future

We believe that all students with an interest in CSTEM experiences should have equal access regardless of their socioeconomic status or background.  The goal is to develop skill sets for our students in critical thinking, problem solving, 3D modeling/printing, circuits (micro and macro), coding, data analytics, chemistry, physics, mathematics, documentation, Scrum, leadership and more - a solid physical and analytical base.  The end goal is the development of the next generation of leaders in technology and technology support services.  The cornerstones of our ethos are integrity, self-reliance, honesty and courage.

We're on a Mission!

0. Help reduce social, economic, and cultural barriers for CSTEM experience access
1.  Engage and excite makers of all ages by introducing them to innovative, fun, & project based curriculum.
2. Grow the makers interest and aspirations through development, mentorship, and alignment to new CSTEM experiences.
3. Provide a pathway to align students to future education and career opportunities through partnerships with educational and industry institutions.
4. Reach, teach and inspire students to continue in engineering and the science
5. Develop a skill set through or course curriculum as opposed to  teaching a single class or skill
