International After-School Engineering Club Launch
Visayas, Philippines
We’re excited to announce the development of an After-School Engineering Club curriculum to be launched in January, 2026 in rural areas of the Philippines. This club will be designed to inspire students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), and will provide hands-on learning opportunities through engaging projects, fostering creativity and critical thinking.
We aim to create a culture of innovation and opportunity in areas that are often overlooked, allowing students there to dream large and ultimately attend local colleges to study STEM careers. To make this initiative possible, we seek support from generous donors to fund curriculum development, teacher stipends, equipment purchases, scholarships and the hiring of associates to administer the program. Join us in providing the next generation of engineers and leaders in far away, underprivileged areas , and help build a brighter future!
STEM Classroom HUB in Liberia, West Africa
We have been approached to PROVIDE EQUIPMENT AND TEACHER TRAINING for robotics, CAD and 3D printing at numerous high schools by Science Plus Liberia Inc. – a nonprofit whose objective is, “To improve and upgrade the already existing infrastructures in Five secondary schools in Montserrado county, Liberia. To bridge the gap between student and computer ratio, To establish robotic clubs in schools, for student to have access to internet for coding and innovation mechanism, To provide STEAM kit for hands on STEAM activities, for the training of the labs teachers in STEAM education, for digital training, for training in 3D printing etc.“…..WE CAN DO THAT!
The goal is to set up a STEM lab at James N Davies SDA High School to serve as a regional hub for the 5 High School in Montserrado County. The immediate needs are as follows:
- 30 Chromebooks
- 1 Electric Generator
- StarLink WIFI
- Robotics kits
- 3D Printer
- Projector
- Engineering Curriculum
- Teacher Stipends
- Student Scholarships
WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPONSOR A SCHOOL IN AFRICA TO SUPPORT AND INSPIRE THE NEXT GENERATION TO PURSUE STEM FIELDS??
STEM Summer Camp Sponsorship
Willimantic, CT
This year our summer camp is running the last week of August. We are offering sessions each day in Robotics, TinkerCAD, Onshape CAD and 3D Printing, and a Beginning Circuits class.
Each class costs $150 total for the week and we would like to offer as many scholarships as we can so that students in this low income area can attend. Any amount will be a big help to a family here to send their student to STEM Camp! An added bonus is that your donation also will help fund a STEM program overseas as we take these same classes to the Philippines, Bali, India, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic and beyond!

STEM Summer Camp Sponsership COMPLETED
WILLIMANTIC, CT – Summer 2024
Summer Camps are very popular here in New England. However, in my town of Willimantic, CT there are many families who simply cannot afford to send their students to one of these enriching programs. Here is an opportunity to not only encourage a student here to study STEM but also to support our mission of bringing STEM education to underprivileged areas of the world.
We are offering a week (4 hours a day for 5 days) of Robotics and a week of CAD and 3D Printing. The classes will be held in the VHouse, shown on the left, which is a very comfortable environment with AC and fast wifi. The cost to rent this facility for one day is only $50! There are no costs associated with the CAD and 3D Printing but the Robotics class has a $60 cost for the kit.
There are no salaries being paid for the instruction so anything over and beyond these costs goes directly to support our other projects!
UPDATE:
We had a very successful first STEM Camp! It was small but mighty and we are already looking forward to next year.
