What partners count on

  • Screened and trained instructors. Every instructor is background checked and trained in child protection and mandatory reporting before the first class, with annual safety and first aid refreshers. We hire fewer than 10% of applicants.
  • Everything in the box. Curriculum written by educators and every material, brought to your space.
  • Small groups by age. A 4-year-old and an 11-year-old each get a challenge built for them.
  • Numbers for your reports. Attendance is recorded digitally for every session.
  • Built by an educator. Dr. Arielle Hammond, Ed.D., led schools for eight years. Her doctoral research focused on equity, access and STEM identity in K-12 enrichment.

No. Journey to STEAM is a local education company. Nonprofits and community organizations bring us in to run programs for the families they serve, and some fund seats for those families.

Can our families attend at no cost?

Yes, when your organization funds the seats. Families can also apply for need-based scholarships through the Journey to STEAM Scholarship Fund. See scholarships.

Can you share attendance for our reports?
