Grant Imahara Steam Foundation

The Droidbuilders Galactic STEAM Academy gave students aged 5-18 the opportunity to explore hands-on learning activities in Science Technology Engineering Arts and Math in the context of the STAR WARS universe. Children and families who attended Star Wars Celebration 2023 were given free access to the program's activities and engaging workshops that will teach students to think critically creatively and collaboratively. The program shows young students that STEAM subjects can be fun and accessible regardless of background or skill level.

Kids In The Spotlight KITS - KITS helps youth in foster care heal and grow from trauma through the power of storytelling and filmmaking. KITS provides space experiences and tools that enable youth to write cast and star in their own short films.

Stanford Future Advancers of Science and Technology FAST - The foundation made it possible for FAST to transition back to operating fully in person. They were also able to use the donations to double the funding for student projects. Students from two high schools in San Jose were paired with Standford graduate students. Students conducted research and engineering projects based on their own curiousities. There are two rules for FAST projects: 1. Projects must be generated by students based on their interests. 2. Projects must entail novel and original research design.
