Help us invest in the future of our youth.
We promote and provide Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math opportunities to elementary and middle school children.
help our cause
Your support and contributions will provide STEAM opportunities for the youth of Colleton County SC. Your generous donation will help us achieve our ultimate mid-term goal to fund
and field a First Robotics Competition (FRC) level team. These are full-sized robots designed, built, programmed, and run by the students. They are awe-inspiring for the students, coaches, families, and college admission staff. Every little bit counts.
WHAT WE HAVE BEEN UP TO SO FAR
FIRST LEGO League Robotics
We started with FIRST LEGO League but our plan is to field Junior teams as well as Middle and High school teams. We are particularly smitten with the values instilled by FIRST.
"Is it cold in outer space?"
At the beginning of this school year a bunch of students asked "Is it cold in space?" Rather than answering their question we enabled them to find out for themselves with an ultra high altitude weather balloon and sensor array.

2021 Gold Seal of Transparency
We are funding several visits of the South Carolina Aquarium Rover to an Elementary School in Walterboro. This provides the students with hands on education about Food Chains / Webs, the impact of human activity on our environment and changes in our ecosystems.
Family Fun Night
Family Fun Night
There is so much we want to do and time is only one constraint so we must raise money. Thanks to some very generous sponsors, we hosted a Family Fun Night on "Star Wars Day" "May the Fourth be with You."
