About this program

We strive to make STEAM and entrepreneurship relevant and achievable for students while putting them on the pathway to becoming thought leaders. For teachers, we provide open, safe, and inviting environments to enhance professional development in order to become more effective in and out of the classroom.

Hack Daze: Hip-hop influenced half or full-day hackathons that prepare youth to be future innovators, breakthrough thinkers, and leaders for those in need by generating tech product ideas that solve community challenges.

Teachers' Therapy: Join us for an open, safe, and inviting small group where teachers can vent. Here you'll find and share solutions that support teachers' ability to promote self-care and foster innovative thinking in their classrooms.

Goodie Career Insight Panels: Panel discussion where tech startup founders and subject-matter experts share their origin stories, provide deep insight on civic challenges, entrepreneurship and mission-driven career pathways.

Goodie Ideation for Teachers: A hands-on design thinking lab where educators diagnose specific problems revolving around STEAM, and come up with innovative solutions.
