Mission Statement: “creating opportunities for all children”
Foundation initiatives support teachers to promote curiosity and channel childhood awe & wonder, while aligning learning with exciting real-world challenges & workforce opportunities
*Initiative “A” enables teachers prek-4th to teach complex chemistry & applied physics to our youngest learners, who can become confident & profoundly inquisitive for life if so engaged
*Initiative “B” is the All Earth EcoBot Challenge, 5th-8th grades
*Initiative “C” for teachers 9-12th deploys practicing, in-the-field scientists to teach hands-on inquiry based Earth & Space Sciences
The Foundation is extremely generously funded by the Houston Endowment, to support high quality out-of-school-time programs through the Harris County Department of Education

What is the EcoBot Challenge? A fun “green” all-day competition for 5th-8th graders, in 4-
person teams, featuring robotics & marketing components
Students build and program real robots to perform real-world environmental tasks on specially designed competition tables
Students articulate the relevance of their robots, e.g. how the community will benefit & profitable enterprises be created
Students compete for wonderful awards and recognition
“The Challenge had all the drama of the Super Bowl.” Doug Kleiner – CEO, Education Foundation of Harris County
