Founding member orgs — pilot phase 2026

Already running STEM? Plug in.

If your org runs STEM programming in Manitoba — at any scale — you're who we're building this for.

Who this is for

Member orgs we're aiming at.

K-12 schools School divisions Public libraries Community centers FIRST & VEX robotics teams Makerspaces Science fairs Code Clubs STEM summer camps After-school programs Homeschool co-ops Indigenous education programs

If you're running anything in this neighborhood and it isn't on the list — that's still you. Reach out.

What you get

What a member org plugs into.

1. Shared event calendar

Your programs show up where families are looking. Filtered by age, neighborhood, language, and format.

2. Resource library access

Pull lesson plans, build guides, parent handouts that other member orgs have contributed. Donate yours back.

3. Shared curriculum

Age-graded modules and lesson plans shared across the network. Use as-is or wrap them in your own program structure.

4. Network-wide events

Provincial science fairs, robotics tournaments, library STEM weeks — coordinated centrally so you can join without rebuilding from scratch.

5. Equipment-share network

That CNC machine your robotics team uses three weeks a year doesn't have to sit idle the other forty-nine. Loan, borrow, share.

6. Family-facing directory listing

Optional. If you want families to find you, you're listed. If you'd rather stay internal, you stay internal.

Cost

Founding member tier.

Member-org access in the 2026 pilot phase is free or nominal — we're prioritizing onboarding over revenue while we build out the network. Specific tier pricing for the post-pilot phase will be set with input from founding orgs, so the rates reflect what programs can actually afford.

Translation: we want you in early. We'll figure out long-term pricing together. The early orgs will help shape it.
