Perseid Foundation

The Perseid Foundation supports the growth of a world-class STEAM education program across Appalachia, including STEM-accreditation, mentorship, programming, and a specialized learning lab in partnership with Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Crayola Experience, Verizon and more.

We believe the vision a child holds for themself in the formative years of 10-14 is the likely the most accurate in defining the child’s core interests for their lifetime. We support the school’s role in mentoring and further igniting a student’s passion to achieve this vision of themselves.

Globally, the foundation hosts year-round initiatives that connect classrooms directly with space. Through live conversations, contests and experiments, wide-eyed children bring textbook teachings to life as they see their art, poetry and technology among the stars.
