Our inquiry based programs provide hands on learning of 21st century skills, building our students critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creative skills. For many students, our programs are the first and only opportunity to access steam enrichment and interface with professionals in the field who serve as a role models. We strive to bridge the educational achievement gap by providing a positive and lasting impact on students, parents, educators, schools and the surrounding community.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $675k to $877k (+30%).
How it's funded, over time
