“There’s a way to do it better - find it.

Founded in 2016, Marshmallow Minds is a 501(c)(3) public benefit education nonprofit organization.
At Marshmallow Minds, we design and create K-12 learning ecosystems that support school children to flourish in a rapidly changing world.
The two key questions that are core to our existence are:
How might we help individual students continually learn and adapt in a changing environment?
How might we help students collaborate to address challenges, work together productively, and contribute to communities in meaningful ways?
Our Mission
Ignite a lifelong love of learning through engaging STEAM education to solve real-world problems
Our Vision
A world where all students have equal access to high-quality, engaging STEAM education that nurtures lifelong curiosity, creativity, and collaborative spirit, paving the way for success in their future
Our Core Values
Cultivate Empathy, Foster Creativity, Embrace Rationality
Our Impact
In the 2023-24 school year, we engaged over 8,000 students—a 260% increase from the previous year—delivering 1217 hours of instruction in 360 classrooms across 14 Title-1 public schools and providing 8,000 hours of student scholarships.

testimonials
“Title-1 schools are schools in which children from low-income families make up at least 40% of the enrollment. Most often the Title-1 funds are used for school-wide interventions in ELA and Math in an attempt to close the gap and not so much on innovative enrichment programs like STEAM.”
Prasanna Padmanabhan, Fremont Union School District, School Teacher
“Marshmallow Minds outreach program makes our students feel honored and worthy.”
Alie Victorine, Franklin McKinley School District, Title-1 School Teacher
“The program serves as a great example for a direction as a teacher you want to move towards to but at times you feel overwhelmed to do it. To know that there is a support structure out there to help you is very encouraging.”
Amelia Drake, Cupertino Union School District, School Teacher
