What STEMShareKids does

STEMShareKids Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit initiative headquartered in Lake Mary, Florida, founded in 2021 by twin brothers Avi Gupta and Jai Gupta. The organization operates a peer-to-peer STEM learning model that connects middle and high school student volunteers (grades 7-12) with elementary and middle school learners (grades 2-7) for knowledge-sharing events delivered both online (via Webex and Zoom) and in-person at community venues including libraries, schools, and the Boys & Girls Club of Central Florida. Its program portfolio spans WeDo Lego Robotics, Scratch coding, TinkerCAD 3D design, biology dissection, chess, Rubik's Cube, science fair (ISEF) preparation, and Rube Goldberg Machine construction, supplemented by tutorial video content on a dedicated YouTube channel.

The organization does not develop proprietary technology products; instead it orchestrates human volunteer-led instruction using third-party educational platforms (Scratch, TinkerCAD, Lego WeDo) and standard video-conferencing tools. As of August 2025, 22 volunteers have delivered more than 80 events reaching over 330 children. The organization has earned notable third-party recognition, including 1st Place in the 2024 WSI NFTE Impact League (out of 3,951 entrants from 50+ countries), National STEM Challenge Champions, and an ISEF DCAT First Prize award.

STEMShareKids' business model is a freemium nonprofit model: all events and programs are offered free of charge to learners, and the organization relies on donations, grants, and volunteer contributions rather than participant revenue. The go-to-market is community-led, with awareness driven through the website, email newsletter, YouTube content, word-of-mouth referrals, and institutional partners. Customers are two-sided — young learners (grades 2-7) as primary consumers of STEM content and middle/high school volunteers (grades 7-12) who receive Bright Futures community service hours as an incentive. No paid pricing tiers, no disclosed revenue, and no funding rounds have been identified.

Scale indicators4 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Science Olympiad: National STEM competition organization running K-12 tournaments across biology, engineering, and chemistry events — closely aligned with STEMShareKids' biology dissection, robotics, and ISEF prep curriculum.
• Code.org: Nonprofit focused on expanding access to computer science education in K-12, including Scratch-style block coding; overlaps directly with STEMShareKids' coding curriculum and free-to-learner model.
• Girls Who Code: Nonprofit delivering free coding and STEM education programs to K-12 students through clubs and summer programs; analogous mission and free-to-participant delivery model.
• CoderDojo: Volunteer-led, free coding clubs for youth run through a global network of local chapters — the closest structural analog to STEMShareKids' peer-to-peer, community-hosted STEM model.
• Black Girls CODE: Nonprofit delivering free STEM and coding programs to underrepresented K-12 students; closely comparable free-delivery, volunteer-supported model focused on youth STEM access.
• Maker Education Initiative (Maker Ed): Nonprofit that supports makerspace-based, hands-on STEM learning in schools and communities; directly comparable to STEMShareKids' TinkerCAD, robotics, and Rube Goldberg offerings.
• FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology): Operates FIRST LEGO League and related K-12 robotics competitions; directly comparable to STEMShareKids' WeDo LEGO Robotics and FLL Explore programming.

Broad incumbents

• Khan Academy: Large free educational nonprofit with broad STEM (and non-STEM) content; comparable in free-access mission and nonprofit structure, but operates at vastly larger scale via proprietary platform.

Others

• Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE): Operator of the World Series of Innovation where STEMShareKids won 1st Place; adjacent as a youth-focused nonprofit and award-granting ecosystem peer.

Emerging players

• Exploravision (National STEM Challenge): Operator of the National STEM Challenge competition in which STEMShareKids won the Champions title; relevant as a competition ecosystem peer rather than a direct service competitor.
