Big ideas start with great conversations.

We loved welcoming the Quantum Igniters Waukee Robotics team to Pi515! During their visit, we talked about leadership, explored ways we can support their team, and spent time discussing how AI is already changing the way students learn and create.

A big thank you to the Quantum Igniters Waukee Robotics team for spending the day with us. We can't wait to see where your creativity and leadership take you next. 💙

We are incredibly grateful to our Day of Innovation keynote speaker, Jonathan Ran, for sharing your journey and inspiring students to explore what's possible through innovation and technology.

Your passion for creating opportunities and empowering future changemakers made a lasting impact, and we're honored you were part of this year's event.

Here's to building brighter futures together! 💙

🚀 Did you know?

A simple opportunity to explore STEM can have a lasting impact.

Students who participate in STEM programs are more likely to pursue STEM majors, and exposure to STEM learning can double their chances of earning a STEM degree.

That’s why Pi515 is passionate about creating hands-on experiences in coding, AI, cybersecurity, and entrepreneurship. We’re helping students discover new interests, build confidence, and see themselves in careers they may have never imagined before.💡

✨ Fellowship Spotlight: Rima Patel ✨

As a Future Leaders in Action Fellow, Rima is spending her summer helping Pi515 launch our AI Navigators program, recruiting student leaders, building school partnerships, and creating new pathways for students to explore AI and technology.

Rima believes that “talent is everywhere, but opportunity is not.” Her work is helping ensure more young people have access to the resources, mentorship, and leadership opportunities they deserve.

We're grateful to have Rima on the Pi515 team this summer! 💚

🇺🇸 Happy Fourth of July from Pi515!

As we celebrate Independence Day, we’re grateful for the freedom to innovate, educate, and empower the next generation of leaders in technology and beyond. Wishing everyone a safe and joyous holiday filled with fun, family, and fireworks! Let's continue to make a positive impact together.
