We produce collaborative invention education competitions (hackathons, like the one in the video) for school districts throughout the United States that provide high school students with mentor-guided blended learning environments for project-based exploration of career pathways in the creative economy.

Only 20% of college students studying science, technology, engineering, digital arts, or math feel that their K-12 education prepared them for their coursework. According to a study by our partners at Microsoft, 80% of college students studying subjects related to STEAM decided to study STEAM in high school or earlier. While the County Offices of Education throughout the State of California are working to provide assistance to districts and schools in delivering systematic, sustainable, high quality, standards-based Arts & STEAM education for all students, Counties and schools within lack the technology industry and local startup community connections to bring sufficient co-curricular support that can fill the invention education gap for students pursuing careers in STEAM.

We empower youth to (1) learn creative technology hard skills and teamwork/presentation soft skills and (2) gain exposure to entrepreneurship, career mentorship, and apprenticeship opportunities from professionals across 150+ companies in S.T.E.A.M. industries.
