Power a STEAM lab for a child with limited access to one
Your gift supports equipment, materials, facilitator training, travel, and program delivery. Donated equipment is directed to program use whenever it meets our program and safety requirements.
Where it goes
What your gift funds
Every gift turns donated equipment into hands-on STEAM learning, keeps Kite, our learning platform, running behind every workshop, and builds lab capacity that children, facilitators, and partner sites keep using.
Materials
Wires, batteries, sensors, lab consumables, art materials, safety supplies, and take-home project components.
Equipment preparation
Testing, cleaning, repair, software setup, packing, and transport of donated tools.
Program delivery
Workshop planning, setup, facilitation, travel, documentation, partner coordination, and keeping Kite, our learning platform, running for every workshop.
Facilitator training
Curriculum, toolkits, coaching, and preparation for local teachers, volunteers, university students, and community educators.
Impact reporting
Student surveys, learning checks, facilitator feedback, photos when appropriate, and summaries for donors and partners.
