Unequal Access, Unequal Futures
For children in under-resourced schools, there are very limited opportunities to engage in future-ready learning beyond the classroom. However, Title-1 funds primarily focus on English Language and Math interventions, leaving future-ready programs often outside their scope. Academic Catch-Up or Future Preparedness? Why Not Both?
Future-Ready Learning for All
Founded in 2016, Marshmallow Minds is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to providing equitable access to high quality, future-ready STEAM education that fosters lifelong learning habits, nurtures empathetic global citizens, prepares students for careers that don’t yet exist, and empowers every child to become a creative problem-solver.
We partner with schools through in-school programs, after-school and summer programs, teacher training, and our online learning community, the Hub. Together, we bridge gaps and remove systemic barriers so students can break the mold, reimagine what’s possible, learn, grow, and thrive.
Our Impact
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 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
“Marshmallow Minds outreach program makes our students feel honored and worthy.” - Alie Victorine, Franklin McKinley School District, Title-1 School Teacher
