Our kits are going to El Salvador
An official partnership with the Salvadoran government sends CurioCrate lessons and science kits into classrooms there — the program’s first government-level collaboration.

Student-Led Nonprofit · Cerritos, California
Built onCuriosity.
Powered byPurpose.
Every CurioCrate kit begins with a student who wanted a lesson to work. They write the curriculum, test the experiment until it holds, pack the crates, and stand up in front of the room to teach it. Those crates go out year-round now — to YMCA centers and elementary schools, to Discovery Cube, to classrooms in El Salvador. Grants pay for the materials. Students do the rest.
