What Keeps Our Team Motivated to Helping the Next Generation of Thinkers
Why I Started STIIX
Working with and around kids has always been a passion of mine - and the potential to help impact young lives was one of the founding principles of STIIX. Children growing up in the digital age have the entire world at their fingertips: research articles, helpful YouTube videos, and can’t miss shopping deals are just a couple of the incredible resources that are only a quick Google search away. Unfortunately, I have also witnessed firsthand some of the downfalls that that come with perpetual time on tv/computer/video game screens. Dozens of recent studies point out the fact that creative and social skills are on the downward trend among our world’s school children. At a time when we have to navigate all kinds of political, environmental, and economic unrest, isn’t now is a time when we need young people to become more creative in order to help tackle some of these lasting issues that face society down the road?
Our model gives children the opportunity to put down the electronics and enter an innovative, competitive, and fun learning environment.
Here at STIIX, we want to fit into this by helping empower young leaders to express their creativity and critical thinking skills in a fun and educational fashion. Our tutorials, zoom calls, projects, and competitions/testing is all part of a formula that brings out lots of fruitful elements in your child. On the other end of our curriculum videos and daily Zoom calls, it is not your typical teacher…we are a team of young, smart, energetic, and relational engineers. We hope our audience recognizes that and takes advantage of the fact that we were in their shoes not too long ago! Class-related questions, college application frustrations, life in general? We want to be a resource to you and provide any insight we may have if you are willing to reach out and if it does not take away time from others focusing on the month’s project! I am a super relational guy, and it is important to me that no matter the size of STIIX, we continue to keep our relationships with our subscribers at the top of our priority list!
Our Mission
- Hands-On Learning
- Exposure to Real-World Topics
- Inspire Young Minds
- Have Fun
So, with all that being said, thank you for checking out STIIX and I hope you enjoy our kits and all that comes with them. I look forward to the chance to introduce myself to you here before too long!

Drone Cadets and STIIX Announce Strategic Partnership to Revolutionize STEM Education and Career Readiness
STIIX, a leader inimmersive engineering and career-connected learning, is proud to announce a strategic partnership with Drone Cadets, a leader in accessible drone education and pilot training. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in STEM education, coupling STIIX’s hands-on engineering curriculum with Drone Cadets’ world-class flight training to create a comprehensive "Build-to-Fly" learning pathway.
Why Career Exploration Works Better When It Starts Earlier
Career exploration works best when it is treated not as a decision point, but as a developmental process that begins earlier and builds over time. Hands-on engineering is often discussed as a goal, but not always as a practical option. Many programs have experienced the two extremes: expensive equipment that sits unused due to complexity, or limited materials that restrict learning to surface-level activities. This is where easily implemented, well-designed engineering projects play an important role.
From Crayons to Careers: Expanding STEM & CTE Exposure in K–8 Education
Early career exploration is essential for workforce development and to grow the career perspectives for students everywhere. STIIX empowers PreK–8 students through hands-on, project-based engineering experiences that spark curiosity, creativity, and problem solving. Our kits guide learners through real-world challenges that encourage exploration, iteration, and collaboration. Designed by educators and aligned to national and state standards, each experience is easy to implement and flexible enough to support a wide range of learning environments. STIIX is built to meet the needs of busy classrooms while giving teachers the tools to build confidence and engagement in every student. Projects are designed to fit into structured class periods or enrichment programs and include clear instructional resources. Connect with us to bring STIIX hands-on learning to your school or program.
