SCHOOLS

We know you're managing tight budgets, competing priorities, and the pressure to prepare students for a rapidly changing world. That's exactly why we created STE(A)M Truck.

Instead of asking you to purchase expensive equipment, train staff, or develop curriculum from scratch, we bring a complete turnkey solution directly to your school. Our mobile fabrication labs park on your campus, our expert educators lead the instruction, and your students gain hands-on experience with tools and technologies that most schools simply can't afford to maintain.

The result? Your students develop critical 21st-century skills—design thinking, problem-solving, collaboration, technical literacy—without adding workload to your already stretched team.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do we need dedicated space for STE(A)M Truck? A: Not necessarily! Our mobile labs can park outside your school, and we can run programs in cafeterias, gyms, libraries, or classrooms. We're flexible and will work with whatever space you have available.

Q: What if our teachers don't have STEAM expertise? A: That's exactly why we exist! Our educators lead all instruction. We also provide professional development so your teachers can support the work, but deep technical knowledge is not required.

Q: Can STE(A)M Truck programming count for course credit? A: Yes, for high schools, STE(A)M Summit programming can count toward CTE pathways or elective credits. We'll work with you on the specific requirements.

Q: How many students can participate? A: We typically work with class-sized groups (15-30 students) but can accommodate everything from small pull-out groups to serving an entire grade level through rotating schedules.

Q: What if we can't afford the full program cost? A: Let's talk! We offer sliding scale pricing, scholarship spots, and can partner with you to identify grant funding. We're committed to accessibility and will work to find a solution.

Q: Do you work with Title I schools? A: Absolutely. A significant portion of our programming serves Title I schools, and we prioritize accessibility for under-resourced communities.
