How CommunATI works for member orgs.
A walkthrough of what you actually get when your school, library, robotics club, makerspace, or community center joins the network — and what you don't have to keep doing alone.

Each member org gets a public profile on CommunATI — your name, mission, region, contact info, and the programs you run. You add programs through a simple dashboard: title, ages, schedule, location, registration link. The moment a program is approved, it shows up in the provincial calendar, the search results, and (when we ship the community map this month) on a pin in your part of the province.
You no longer have to rebuild that information across three social platforms, your own website, and an email list that overlaps with your neighbours' email lists. The shared discovery layer is the platform's job.
Your mission, programs, region, and contact info on a clean profile. Indexed for search and shareable as one link to funders, partners, and parents.
Add a program in under two minutes — age band, schedule, location, registration URL. Edit anytime. Programs appear in calendar, search, and (soon) on the community map.
Parents who find your program through CommunATI can ask a question or join a waitlist. Inquiries land in your org inbox — no scraping Facebook DMs.
Curriculum, lesson plans, kit guides, and templates contributed by other member orgs. Use what fits, contribute what you've already built.
Robotics kits, microscopes, 3D printers — list what your org has available between sessions, and find what's idle in a school division across town.
Direct messaging with other member orgs in the network. Plan a joint event, share a guest instructor, line up a science-fair partner — without a LinkedIn cold start.
Three tiers, billed monthly in Canadian dollars. Small orgs aren't priced out, larger orgs get the analytics and support they need. Pricing covers the platform — Bay Tech operates CommunATI as an ecosystem investment, not a margin business.
Single-org profile, unlimited programs, family inquiries, resource library access. Built for school clubs, single-site community programs, small library systems.
Everything in Starter, plus equipment lending listings, cross-org messaging, and basic analytics. Built for robotics clubs, makerspaces, multi-site orgs.
Everything in Network, plus multi-program admin seats, advanced analytics, branded org sub-pages. Built for school divisions, library systems, and large community-center networks.
CommunATI does not enroll your students, take registration fees, or rebrand your programs. Registration links go to your system. Payments go to you. Family relationships stay with you. We are the discovery layer — the layer that gets the right family in front of your program. Everything past that is yours.
This is intentional. The Manitoba ecosystem already has good operators. CommunATI exists to make those operators easier to find and easier to coordinate with — not to consolidate them.
Apply through the member-org application. We review every org by hand during the founding cohort — not gatekeeping, just confirming you're a real Manitoba STEM operator. Approval is usually 48 hours. After approval you get dashboard access, can publish your first program, and show up in family search the moment your program is live.
We're prioritizing founding-cohort orgs through Q3 2026. More on the org side here, or drop us a note and we'll walk you through it.
Apply as a founding member org. We'll get you set up in a few days.
