🚀 May the 4th Be With Their Future 🚀

From May 4–11, we’re inviting our community to come together for a simple mission:

Raise $300 to fund a Mars Initiative grant—bringing hands-on STEM learning to an entire classroom of students.

These experiences spark curiosity, build real-world skills, and help students see themselves as future scientists, engineers, and explorers.

Every contribution moves us closer.
