    Historical Ratings
    Charity Navigator's ratings previously did not consider Leadership & Adaptability, Culture & Community, or Impact & Measurement. The historic rating mainly reflects a version of today’s Accountability and Finance score. More information on our previous rating methodologies can be found on our rating methodology page.
    Rating histories are available for a growing number of rated organizations. Check back later to see if this organization has a rating history!

    Goal One: Our goal has always been to impact as many people positively as we can. We are always seeking ways to allow more people to participate and learn.

    Adaptability Statement
    30 out of 30 points
    The nonprofit has an opportunity to tell the story of how the organization adapted to tremendous external changes in the last year.
    Covid completely shut down our hands-on learning opportunity. We shifted to zoom, created a curriculum to quickly adapt to engage students we serve. We then shifted to a scenario where we acquired and sent to students mini robots and created a space to allow them to design and build components to build out their robots that need to achieve specific objectives. This was a hybrid, zoom and delivery to their homes of parts they designed and allowed them some semblance of that in-person engagement. While it hasnt been smooth we have been able to still effectively provide programing as we work toward more in-person programs in the coming year.
