Devoxx4Kids USA NPO was started a little over a year ago. At that time, we didn’t know that it’ll be so much fun to grow this team. Over the last year, we’ve done quite a bit of workshops, met lots of wonderful people, and most importantly tried to inspire some kids to stay engaged in STEM.

President Obama launched Educate to Innovate initiative and articulated a clear priority for STEM education. The goal is that within a decade, American students must “move from the middle to the top of the pack in science and math.” Our efforts are aligned towards that! large water slide
