More Than Just a Resource
We are a movement. The Wilkinson STEM Education Foundation works tirelessly to dismantle barriers to education through three key initiatives.
Community Outreach
We go where the need is greatest. Our mobile labs and community workshops bring STEM experiences directly to neighborhoods.

Try It Yourself
This custom map challenge was created for 8th-grade students at Moanalua Middle School as a study guide for their upcoming Social Studies quiz. This is just one example of the interactive activities students experience in our academies.
U.S. Map Challenge
A state lights up on the map — pick the right answer from 4 choices. Can you get all 50? Good luck on your quiz!
A Catalyst for Positive Social Change
Our platform isn't just a school—it's a living research project. We partner with universities to study the impact of early STEM intervention in underserved communities, publishing our findings to help educators worldwide.
Evidence-Based Methods
Every curriculum decision is backed by the latest cognitive science research.
"The arts and sciences are avatars of human creativity. The difference between science and the arts is not that they are different sides of the same coin — they are manifestations of the same thing."
Free, Public, and Built for Every Learner
The Wilkinson STEM Education Foundation is a public, browser-based informal STEM education platform — free for any student, parent, or self-directed learner to access without registration, subscription, or download. No paywall, no ads. Our five academies (Science, Math, Code, Engineering, and Art) provide K-12 learners with standards-aligned interactive experiences including virtual labs, coding challenges, math simulations, and project-based activities, all differentiated across four grade bands.
WSEF is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a specific focus on underserved communities — designed to close the digital STEM access gap for students in Title I schools, rural districts, and under-resourced environments where high-quality interactive STEM curriculum is hardest to access. As an informal education provider, WSEF functions as a virtual science museum and public learning resource, accessible through any school, library, or home with an internet connection.
