Our Story & Our Vision

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 Teacher-Friendly & Affordable resource for educators.

OUR STORY

...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 concepts at play MUCH better.

With that in mind, on top of the fact that choosing a career pathway had always been a source of anxiety for me... STIIX was born to get students thinking creatively, and connect all their learning to careers along the way.‍

HUMBLE BEGINNINGS

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 K12 Partners, we eventually phased that service out.

GROWING THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS

‍Fast forward to today and we are now proud partners of hundreds of school district, organizational, and community-based organizational partners around the world!

BEYOND STEM KITS

Instead of packaging individual STEM kits, we now mainly couple our award-winning curriculum with classroom bins, instructional videos, and an Augmented Reality application.

DRIVEN BY IMPACT

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 experience to this type of stuff.

WITH GROWTH COMES RESPONSIBILITY!

STIIX always likes to invite our partners and friends into our journey, which is why we publicly share our "Company Values".

We drafted these in 2026 to remind ourselves why we do what we do, and so we can hold ourselves accountable to our long term vision!

GOING FORWARD

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 great new partnerships, and MUCH more!
