Thank You for Believing in Us! đź’™

We’re so grateful for all the support shown during our 2025 Annual Campaign. Thanks to your generosity—and a group of anonymous donors who will match the final week’s gifts—we raised $5,337 to bring STEM to life for kids this summer!

While we fell a bit short of our original goal, we’re confident we can get creative, stretch our resources, and still make this summer unforgettable.

We can’t wait to launch Invent the Summer 2025 in June—stay tuned! 🚀

🚨 We Need Your Help! 🚨

With just ONE WEEK LEFT in our annual fundraising campaign, we are still less than halfway to our goal. Without additional support, we’re at real risk of having to scale back our programs this year. We don’t want to turn kids away. We don’t want to cancel workshops. But we can’t do it without you.

đź’ˇ Every dollar counts. Every share helps. đź’ˇ
Please consider donating today to keep STEM opportunities accessible, engaging, and inspiring for all.

🚀 As we gear up for another amazing summer of innovation and creativity, let’s take a look back at some of the incredible moments from 2024! From hands-on STEM challenges to inspiring workshops, our young innovators tackled problems, built solutions, and had a blast doing it. 🔬✨

We can’t wait to make 2025 even bigger and better—stay tuned for exciting updates!

🔬 STEM is more than science—it’s about problem-solving, perseverance, resilience, and more!

When kids tackle real-world STEM challenges, they learn to think critically, collaborate, and keep going even when things get tough. These hands-on experiences don’t just build future scientists and engineers—they build confident, creative problem-solvers ready to take on the world!

💡 Let’s give more kids the chance to develop these skills. Donate today!

🌟 Early hands-on STEM experiences spark lifelong curiosity!

Studies show that engaging young kids in science & engineering activities outside the classroom builds confidence, problem-solving skills, and lasting interest in STEM careers. But not every child has access to these opportunities. You can help change that.

💡 Donate today and inspire the next generation of innovators! 🔬✨

🔬 STEM needs more voices, more ideas, and more diversity. But too many kids miss out on early STEM experiences simply because they don’t have access.

At Invent the Summer, we’re changing that with free challenges and workshops created by kids, for kids—making STEM more relatable, engaging, and accessible to all.

You can help close the gap. Donate today and give more kids the chance to see themselves as future innovators!
