Our story
Founded in 2016 on a personal need
STEM Minds was founded in March 2016 by Anu and Yash Bidani. After trying several extracurricular programs and camps to engage their sons, they were disappointed with the results and decided to take the challenge on themselves.
Beginning in the summer of 2016 with a handful of students and reaching more than 40,000 students by 2020, Anu’s dream of empowering youth through STEM became a movement. Today students across North America get the hands-on, personalized STEM experiences they deserve from an expert team of licensed teachers and technical professionals.
In 2026, we moved our home base to Boreal Farms in King City so students can apply coding, robotics and AI to real crops. Today we work across five areas — school programs, partnership programs, workforce readiness, applied R&D and STEAM Hub — and have reached more than 107,000 students.
