SteamRocket is on a mission to make STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) accessible and engaging for kids in the Coachella Valley. With your help, we can bring new opportunities for discovery, problem-solving, and creative thinking to children across our community. Our campaign is about expanding these programs and celebrating the incredible milestones we’ve already achieved with the support of partners like ChangeX and The LEGO Foundation.

Big Achievements, Bigger Dreams
This past year has been nothing short of amazing:
🚀 The First Coachella Valley PlayFest
In partnership with ChangeX and The LEGO Foundation, we hosted a dynamic, family-friendly celebration for the International Day of Play, inspiring hundreds of kids to imagine, build, and innovate.

🚀 Weekly Coding and Robotics Clubs
We launched the first weekly Minecraft Coding Club and SteamBots: LEGO Robotics Club in the valley. These hands-on programs spark a love for technology and engineering in kids aged 6 through 13.

🚀 Impactful Outreach
Over the summer of 2024, over 800 children participated in our workshops, coding clubs, and learning labs, engaging in activities like 3D printing, LED circuitry, and earthquake simulators.

Now, we're ready to go even further! Our goal for 2025 is to reach more kids, introduce new workshops, and continue building a community where every child can access innovation tools.

How You Can Make a Difference
Your donation will directly support the development and accessibility of our programs. Here’s how:

Why SteamRocket Matters
At SteamRocket, we believe that STEAM is the foundation of the future. With technology and innovation becoming essential skills, kids need early exposure to the tools and concepts shaping tomorrow. From building confidence in coding to fostering a love for engineering, we’ve seen firsthand the transformative power of these programs.

"It’s incredible to see kids’ faces light up when their robot finally moves, or their Minecraft code works perfectly," says Elle Decker, Co-founder of SteamRocket. "We’ve built a community where kids can explore, fail, and succeed—all while having fun. With your help, we can make these experiences available to even more children across the valley."

Celebrating Partnerships
Our work wouldn’t be possible without our incredible partners:
🚀 The LEGO Foundation and ChangeX helped launch our LEGO Robotics Club, creating a space for kids to learn coding and problem-solving through play.
🚀 CV Giving Day funded a summer of free learning at Indio Library, Coachella Library, and Mecca Library.
🚀 City of Indio is currently funding a series of monthly STEAM workshops at Indio Library.

These collaborations have shown us what’s possible when a community comes together to support its children.

Join the Movement
Please help us raise $10,000 to fund the next generation of STEAM workshops and learning labs!
Every donation—big or small—makes a difference.

Let’s build a brighter future together. Your generosity will empower hundreds of kids to dream big, explore new possibilities, and create the innovations of tomorrow.

Together, we can spark a love for learning that lasts a lifetime!
