Our Mission

Equal education for all is a value we keep central to the Manifezt model; ultimately, a diverse learning environment that nurtures curiosity and encourages inquiry is what aim to provide our community after all of our efforts.

Our Plan
We supplement what students are learning in school with a project-based curriculum designed to capture their interest and show them the various career opportunities available in STEM.
In partnerships with universities we implement workshops at community centers, libraries, and schools across South Florida. This allow us to educate a highly skilled, socially conscious STEM workforce. This gives way to local innovation and aids the growth of STEM Industries in South Florida.
