Tech and the Unicorns is a nonprofit organization that delivers community-based STEM programs for elementary and middle school students in under-resourced communities.
Through 3D printing, engineering, mentorship, leadership, and entrepreneurship programming, we help young people build confidence, technical fluency, and real-world problem-solving skills.
Each track is practical, repeatable, and partner-friendly for schools, libraries, and community organizations.
Students move from idea to prototype through guided design, modeling, and fabrication sessions.
Best for: school partners, libraries, and community sites introducing youth to maker skills.
Project-based learning builds technical confidence, teamwork, and problem-solving through repeatable lessons.
Best for: multi-week cohorts and after-school enrichment programming.
Students practice ownership, communication, and civic-minded leadership alongside STEM learning.
Best for: organizations that want growth in both technical and personal development.
Youth connect creativity, innovation, and business thinking through hands-on challenges and mentor guidance.
Best for: partners preparing students to see themselves as future founders and builders.

We promote equity, equality, and opportunity through hands-on STEM education centered on 3D printing, leadership, mentorship, and entrepreneurship.
We bring technology learning to communities where equipment, instruction, and opportunity are often limited.
Students build belief in their own ability to create, solve problems, and lead.
Programs connect youth with professionals and community leaders who model possibility and accountability.
Experiences connect classroom learning to careers, entrepreneurship, and long-term civic contribution.
We envision a future where every child, regardless of income or background, has meaningful access to technology, education, and opportunity to become an innovative leader and responsible citizen.
