STDY Inc

I donated a few astronomy books sitting around in my house to one of STDY's book drives, and saw how huge of an impact they were making.

STDY has done so much to improve education in the Boston community.

My son participated in Innovation Hub during the summer, and he enjoyed it a lot. He told me that he especially enjoyed the physics experiments they had. I'm glad to see my son be excited by these STEM topics that STDY taught.

I participated in their Badminton Tournament, and it was a lot of fun. I liked that they organized the participants into divisions, which made the tournament much more fun and competitive day of playing. I appreciate that they found creative ways to serve a good cause. Looking forward to their next event.

STDY's president and vice-president first introduced me to the organization a little over a year ago, when they asked me to be their treasurer. One of the biggest reasons that I decided to join their team was because of their passion and dedication to the issue of inequity in the education system. Not only did they spend countless hours committed to logistical aspects of the nonprofit, but the team was also creative about involving people from school in the nonprofit. Their commitment to the mission inspired me to join their team, which I feel has truly positively impacted me.
In addition to this, STDY has come up with quite creative ways of helping disadvantaged youth. One of their programs, the Innovation Hub, was a huge hit this past summer, helping to ignite more enthusiasm towards advanced STEM subjects in younger students.
Overall, this nonprofit is amazing, both because of their mission and people! I would encourage anyone who believes everyone is entitled to a good quality education to support this group.

I first signed up for STDY's Innovation Hub Summer Camp as a volunteer to fulfil school requirements. But as soon as I started, I realized I was making a direct impact on students in the class. I saw the student impact in the topics flourish through STDY's unique and innovative teaching techniques. We used resources that students were familiar with such as legos, and incorporated them with robotics and coding to create an optimized learning enviorment. The Lego EV3 Mindstorm was a class favorite, and the students loved building cool mechanisms and drivers to follow complex courses. They caught on quick with the coding aspect and by the end of the week, were easily coding through a maze by utilizing multiple sensors and motors.

Overall, a great summer camp both for learning and volunteering. I will certainly continue working with STDY.
5 STARS!

STDY Inc contacted me to check if my company (www.ptc.com (http://www.ptc.com/)) would be willing to host an Innovation Hub Enrichment Camp which would educate under privileged kids from Boston area who are interested in learning Physics, Math, and Robotics. They shared with me the detail plan about the 5-day workshop which would be 100% free to the participants and Stdy Inc would bear the costs of food and supplies. The STDY Team contacted several tutoring and social worker orgs in Boston to recruit kids for this camp and I admired their persistence and hard work towards achieving their social upliftment goals. My company is providing the space and a few Lego prime sets to STDY for this camp and I am looking forward to working with STDY Team in making their current and future initiatives a huge success for the local communities and kids. I’ve also learnt that STDY is working hard in securing books from different sources which can be provided for free to schools and kids who need those. My best wishes to the STDY team in all their social welfare initiatives.

When I first learned about STDY, I was amazed to see that the goal of their nonprofit was so strong and organized. This really helped others see the nonprofit's passion for helping disadvantaged students. In a way it was fun to even volunteer because everyone's spirits were so high because students could connect with the student-run organization.

I was a student of a STDY program this summer and I found the experience incredibly rewarding. The instructors were incredibly kind and also effective in helping me learn math concepts in a way that my teachers sometimes couldn't. I am really grateful to the instructors for their effort and dedication and hope to attend one of their programs again in the future!

As a current high school student, I understand the significance of an education. I also see the significant inequity in education throughout the Greater Boston Area.

Having joined the Board of STDY, I've see their commit to the cause of furthering educational opportunities for all students. They've organized fundraisers whose donations can be used to provide supplies to underprivileged schools. They go above and beyond generating donations, dedicating their time and knowledge to create STEM programs that give students of all backgrounds unique opportunities in the often gate-kept fields of science and engineering.

Their work in providing educational opportunities is far reaching and impactful, helping to inspire students throughout the Greater Boston Area.
