FUTURE-READY LEARNING FOR ALL
Today’s children will enter adulthood with robots and AI increasingly dominating the modern workplace. The problems and opportunities they will face are unknowable. At Marshmallow Minds, we are preparing students for this future.
Founded in 2016, Marshmallow Minds is a 501(c)(3) education nonprofit with a mission to ignite a lifelong love of learning in future innovators. We are dedicated to delivering equitable, future-ready learning experiences to under-resourced schools to level the playing field for students.
OUR FUTURE READY SUCCESS FORMULA
DESIGN THINKING + STEAM + ELD = ACCELERATED LEARNING FOR ALL
Marshmallow Minds is a proven, turnkey solution for bringing rigorous, hands-on learning experiences to every classroom from pre-/transitional kindergarten through 8th grade. We built our education program in under-resourced Title I schools to ensure students who are furthest from opportunity have access to the most engaging, future-ready learning experiences.
We prepare students for the unknowable future with Design Thinking, a framework for critical thinking, creativity, and engineering. Design Thinking empowers people to solve real-world challenges. In the classroom, Design Thinking activates students, motivates curiosity and engagement, and transforms teaching and learning.
We teach Design Thinking through fun, age-appropriate Design Challenges spanning interdisciplinary STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math) content. Designed by educators and STEAM experts, the curriculum supports English Language Development and social and emotional learning, and creates the conditions for student learning to explode.
It’s Unanimous
We’re Advancing Science, Literacy, and Social-Emotional Development!
Now you can contribute towards our 2025-26 Student Scholarship Fund! We are fundraising to engage 10,000 students.
Together, let’s give every child a chance to say with confidence, “Dear future me, I’m ready”.
