We bridge the gap between playful creativity and real-world engineering problem solving
Creating and coordinating content for low-cost, sustainable, and scalable engineering workshops
Effective workshops at scale
Whether you are a school, youth organization, government, or home, our content will allow you to foster flexible, hands-on workshops with all ages. The engineering method, mechanical and material concepts, and real-world prototyping skills have never been more accessible.
Low-cost, fast-turnaround events
Through recycled materials, bulk sourcing, and strategic choices, many of our workshops can be run for less than $1.00 per student. All that’s needed to begin is a a community space and a few volunteers.
Sustainable, equitable engineering
Our goal is to achieve sustainability and equity in everything we do. That means our content is documented and consistent, uses environmentally friendly materials, and targets young people from underrepresented demographics.
Creativity becomes the real-World Engineering Method
Creativity is at the root of the engineering method. We start there and build; literally and figuratively. Through hands-on activities, we guide young, explorative minds toward breaking down real-world engineering problems and building solutions.
Hands-on projects - Real-world techniques
Not only will students build suspension bridges, mouse trap cars, and miniature hydraulic arms, they’ll first break down their ideas using techniques from industrial engineering - goals, constraints, minimum viable product, prototype iteration, and more. No matter their age, students will work towards a deep understanding of how the world’s more complex problems are broken down and solved.
