STIIX was started by an engineer, from a family of educators, with the mission of bringing meaningful experiences back into the classroom.
We take lot's of pride in being a FUN, memorable, & impactful STEM experience for students, and a super EASY to use & affordable resource for educators.
...As much fun as the big, long calculus problems were in engineering school...
I had lots more fun working on the hands-on, open-ended design challenges we were occasionally tasked with. PLUS, they helped me grasp the academic principles at play MUCH better.
With that in mind, on top of the fact that I went into engineering school in the first place because I did not know what in the world I wanted to do when I was older, and still did not figure it out when by the time I had graduated..STIIX was born to get students being creative, and introduce them to all kinds of awesome careers along the way.
Solve Technicalities with Imagination, Innovation, and eXcitement.
STIIX got it's start knocking on doors around Phoenix, Arizona selling monthly STEM kit subscriptions to families (bloody hand pictured above☺️). When that model began to prove to be unsustainable, coincidentally alongside the traction we were starting to gain with some awesome schools, we eventually phased that service out.
Fast forward to today and we are now proud partners of hundreds of school district, organizational, and community-based organizational partners around the world!
Instead of packaging individual STEM kits, we now mainly couple our award-winning curriculum with classroom bins, FREE professional development / trainings, FREE guest speaking, &more! (cont...)
(cont...) On top of the fact that this move has been a good business decision for our organization, opening many doors & allowing us to do impactful things, the work we do with our school district partners is much more rewarding to our team.
Our work with primarily underserved / underprivileged Title Schools keeps the STIIX team motivated to continue bringing meaningful experiences back into the classroom for these students who would likely not otherwise have the chance to be exposed to this type of stuff.
We now feel super lucky to offer our incredible, new Augmented Reality / Career Readiness app completely FREE of charge for the STEM community.
We have some big plans that include continuing to develop some awesome new hands-on projects, continuing to invest in the STIIX-Ville app, & form some great new partnerships, and MUCH more!

We work one-on-one with our schools and industry partners to build custom programs based on the needs of the district. All programs come with required material, teacher support, and align with the latest NGSS and CTE standards,...oh and by the way, the KIDS HAVE A BLAST building them!
