I am a program leader but I am not affiliated with a partner site. How do I participate?

Make sure you sign up for a "Mentor" account on https://curiositymachine.org.
If you are planning to run Technovation Families with your group, you can become an official partner site by emailing us at curiosity@iridescentlearning.org. You will receive an email with a unique sign-up link for you and your participants to be connected. Partner sites can also be eligible for mini grants to support costs of running the program.
Even before you become a partner site, you can still help families in whatever context you normally work in:

For example, educators may facilitate an after school group with students and their families or encourage students to build with their families at home using Technovation Families curriculum
Or, leaders in their local library or other community-based organization can set up community programs to support family-based STEM learning of our AI curriculum.

Program leaders who are not affiliated with a partner site are not required to recruit families to participate. Even if the students or families you work with do not want to register online for Technovation Families, you still have access to all of our online materials.
- These kinds of program leaders must still complete our pre-survey.
