X-Time is all about the power of curiosity. It’s a true passion of mine just being able to see students’ eyes light up. I founded X-Time during the pandemic to increase access to science and STEAM opportunities in underserved communities, and today it’s grown into an international non-profit organization. We’re in over 25 states and 8 countries from Panama to Taiwan.

In each of our X-Time High School Club chapters, our volunteers lead engaging educational hands-on STEAM activities, focusing on science, technology, engineering, art, and math. In addition, we build explore stations, which are collections of free STEAM resources provided to hospitals, community centers, and orphanages. Being able to see firsthand the impact with students, it’s just been so meaningful and inspiring. Those smiles stay with you and propel you forward.
