Upcoming Events
Every child deserves a chance to shape the world. But they don't always have the tools to do it. That’s why we've launched the Verizon Innovative Learning STEM Achievers program—an immersive program developed to ignite STEM passions through design thinking, 3D printing, augmented reality and social entrepreneurship.
This program empowers every student with the tools they need today to become the STEM leaders of tomorrow. No prior knowledge or experience is required.
