Why Schools Partner With Us

We bring the people, equipment, and technology to make hands-on STEM work.

BrainStorm gives schools the people, technology, and infrastructure for ambitious hands-on STEM without adding more prep to teachers’ plates. Our instructors arrive with specialized equipment, classroom systems, and computing tools, then lead students through an experience designed for participation, discovery, and memorable success.

Cutting-edge equipment, zero upkeep

Specialized STEM tools are matched to the lesson so students can work with equipment that feels current, purposeful, and worth exploring.

We bring it: Robotics platforms, microscopes, engineering systems, and demonstration equipment arrive ready for student use—without a school purchasing, storing, or maintaining them.

Experienced instructors lead the room

Hands-on STEM is most successful when the instructor can manage the science, technology, student energy, and classroom at the same time.

We run it: BrainStorm instructors guide the lesson, troubleshoot in real time, and keep students moving from activity to observation, testing, and understanding.

The computing power is included

Coding, robotics, and design experiences depend on reliable hardware and current software—not just a worksheet or occasional device access.

We supply it: BrainStorm brings its own laptops, software, and digital tools so the technology is ready when the lesson begins and leaves with us when class ends.

Access $500K+ in state-of-the-art STEM equipment—without buying, storing, or maintaining it.

From robotics and coding platforms to engineering systems, microscopes, circuitry, and physics equipment, BrainStorm brings the specialized tools each lesson needs directly to campus. Schools get current, name-brand resources in students’ hands while we handle transport, setup, software, storage, and upkeep.

Our Proven Approach

Hands-on STEM creates successful moments — for every student

Success is what turns curiosity into confidence. With 15+ years teaching hands-on STEM, we've refined an approach that gives students an achievable way into the experience while leaving room for deeper challenge — in the very same classroom, on the very same day.

Students who need support

Visual guidance, clear roles, and active instructor support give students an approachable way in — and a real, tangible win that strengthens confidence.

Students ready for more

Open-ended variables and new testing pathways give students who finish early a real next challenge — deeper discovery instead of downtime.

School Spotlight

Woodbury Elementary, Irvine Unified School District

Irvine Unified School District logo

Woodbury Elementary is one of BrainStorm’s longest-standing school partners. Year after year, the program has been able to grow with the campus—supporting new groups of students while adapting to the school’s schedule, goals, and learning priorities. That continuity is what a true school partnership can provide: hands-on STEM that becomes part of the campus experience rather than a one-time event.

Families & School Teams

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.

Sean K.Parent

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.

Jasmine C.Student reviewer

My kids look forward to this class every week and get visibly excited when they see the BrainStorm Van in the parking lot!

TotalSTEM for Schools

Bring a complete TotalSTEM solution to your own classrooms.

For schools outside Orange County—or teams that prefer to lead STEM in-house—BrainStorm connects hands-on student kits with the instructional structure teachers need to use them well. TotalSTEM brings together curriculum, instructional slideshows, worksheets, lesson resources, and working student-built models so a school can deliver a cohesive STEM experience without an on-site BrainStorm instructor.

For PTA & Parent Groups

Give your PTA a clear way to bring hands-on STEM to campus.

BrainStorm's in-class STEM programs are often funded in whole or in part by school PTAs. If you'd like to bring STEM for Schools to your campus, we'll put together an information packet you can share directly with your school administrators — and we'll help make the case with your community.

One of the best ways to create excitement (and funding support) is a Grade Level Assembly or a spot at your school's STEAM Night. We bring some of our biggest and best experiments to wow students and families, spark excitement for the program, and help win over families who are still on the fence.
