About this
Project:

3. The Nonprofits
We partnered with two amazing nonprofits to make this day a reality.
Aim High works to close the opportunity
gap for under-resourced middle school
youth by providing them with a free
summer learning program. They serve
1,600 middle school students at 15
campuses across the Bay Area.
The mission of Magic Zone is to expose youth to opportunities and help
them reach their potential for present and future success. This group works
with students from a district with the highest population of African
Americans living in SF where 25% of African Americans are living in poverty.

4. Why the SF Exploratorium?
The San Francisco Exploratorium is an eye-opening,
playful place to explore how the world works. The
museum offers creative thought-provoking exhibits,
experiences, tools and projects that ignite curiosity,
encourage exploration, and lead to profound learning.
