kit

The kits are creative technology education in a box and are distributed to marginalized communities through schools and organizations. They serve to combat the unequal access to technology education and resources, and to create pathways to greater participation in the modern economy.

The program combines science, technology, engineering, arts and math (STEAM) in culturally-relevant activities that are delivered as kits. The kits are offered for home-use, with teacher training for use in schools and as part of customized courses with partner organizations.

The prototyping board, which can be used across multiple kits, provides a connection between the physical and digital worlds. and allows for the transformation of material objects intro interactive experiences. Scratch is used on a cellphone or computer to bring the kit creations to life.
