A zip code shouldn't decide who gets to be a scientist.

Across California, one in three high schools offers no AP science track. Rural counties average 1.4 hours from the nearest STEM outreach program.

We don't think that's a pipeline problem. It's an access problem — and access is something you can engineer.

Programs We will offer

Expert Webinars

Evening sessions with working scientists, researchers, and engineers. We record everything, caption it, and post it — free, forever.

  • Monthly sessions across six STEM tracks
  • Live Q&A; archive of 140+ past talks
Lead a webinar

Hands-on Workshops

Full-day curriculum built around doing, not watching. Our facilitators travel to many different places with the equipment in tow.

  • Fixed, peer-reviewed curriculum (4–8 hour modules)
  • All materials & lab kits provided on site
