T4T.org’s ReImagined Resource Center STEAM Labs
We want to build STEAM Labs in 20 Title 1 Schools in Los Angeles. LAUSD has among the highest concentration of low-income students in the state, with more than 80% living at or below the poverty line. This translates into nearly 400 high-poverty campuses where all students automatically qualify for subsidized lunches. There is little room in the school budget for a Makers Space. We want to teach these students to invent out of ReImagined Resources or found objects.

T4T.org’s Mobile Makers Space with ReImagined Resources
T4T.org’s Pop-Up Makers’ Spaces using ReImagined Resources will arrive in some of LA’s most underserved communities. On a Saturday or Sunday morning a truck will pull up, drop down the sides, set up the tables and future inventors, scientists and researchers, from the local community go to work. These children are welcome to create, build and experiment. We will bring Laser cutters, 3D Printers and more, all the tools these young inventors need to realize what their imagination can inspire.
