We empower all students
We partner with public schools to help them create healthy and safe learning environments that center student voice and
cultivate students into socially conscious and self-aware critical thinkers, problem solvers, ideators, creators, and leaders.

Our programs are rooted in equity.

We address the entire public education system, from top-to-bottom, providing STEM skills and equitable, anti-racist education environments where all students can succeed, and by working with emerging and established education leaders of color to improve representation at every level.
