BUILT BY EDUCATORS.
About Us.
We create meaningful STEM experiences, products, and programs that help schools and students grow through hands-on learning.
Our Story
From classroom experience to better STEM.
Based in Irvine, California, BrainStorm has spent nearly 15 years teaching, testing, and refining hands-on STEM in real classrooms. That experience shapes the programs, curriculum, and reusable STEM products we create today. We connect clear instruction with purposeful building, coding, engineering, and investigation so students can do more than complete a project — they can understand the science behind it.
What We Work Toward
Make hands-on STEM successful for more students.
We create hands-on STEM experiences that give students a clear way into the work, room to test ideas, and meaningful opportunities to build confidence through science, engineering, coding, and design.
Our Vision
More students see themselves succeeding in STEM.
We want more students to experience STEM as something active, achievable, and worth coming back to. That means helping schools expand access to skilled instructors, purposeful curriculum, and technology-rich learning without asking every campus to build the same infrastructure on its own.
Where We Are Going
Access that grows with students.
Our goal is to help schools create sustained hands-on STEM experiences that can grow with their students—from foundational science and engineering through robotics, coding, design, and emerging technologies.
People who make technical ideas approachable, guide productive struggle, and keep students actively involved.
Specialized tools, devices, software, and equipment that give students authentic ways to investigate, create, and solve.
Experiences designed so students can participate, discover, and leave with more confidence than they started with.
Why BrainStorm
Classroom experience shapes everything we do.
Nearly 15 years of working directly with students and school teams informs how BrainStorm trains instructors, chooses technology, develops curriculum, and designs products. We bring experienced educators, specialized equipment, and flexible program formats together so schools can offer ambitious hands-on STEM without having to build every part of the experience on their own.
Experience Behind the Work
What backs the work.
The work is backed by years of classroom delivery, experienced instructors, standards-aware curriculum, specialized equipment, and a track record of bringing hands-on STEM directly to schools.
STEM Expertise
Nearly 15 years of teaching and program development continue to shape how we design hands-on STEM for K–12 students.
Real STEM Experiences
Students work with real tools, technologies, and hands-on systems selected for meaningful STEM learning.
On-Site Lessons
Hands-on lessons are delivered directly on campus and designed to connect with school learning goals and grade-level expectations.
Experienced Instructors
Experienced BrainStorm instructors work directly with students on campus, complementing the school day with structured hands-on STEM.
Cutting Edge Equipment
Programs draw from more than $500K in specialized STEM equipment, giving students access to tools schools do not need to purchase and maintain themselves.
Proven Track Record
BrainStorm has delivered STEM workshops and classes across K–12, with continued positive feedback from school partners, students, and families.
Voices From BrainStorm
What families, educators, and schools are saying about BrainStorm.
My daughter and I received this kit through CCA’s Summer Learning Box. It was easy for her to assemble and has brought her outside to play multiple times this summer. It’s sparked my interest as a parent to order more kits to offer her more hands on activities in this digital era.
I loved this kit!! So simple and fun. I was so excited when I got it in the mail that I couldn't wait for my mom to walk up to make it.
My kids look forward to this class every week and get visibly excited when they see the BrainStorm Van in the parking lot!
We have really enjoyed working with BrainStorm. The materials and instructors have been stellar. Lots of hands-on learning, collaboration, and exploration.
Great lessons with knowledgeable instructors who were good with all students, including neurodiverse students.
Highly engaging and hands on!
