Our Story
How We Started Our STEM Classes
STEM Minds was founded in 2016 by Anu and Yash Bidani. They were driven by their need to introduce their sons to STEM classes and career opportunities. Disappointed by existing extracurricular programs, they decided to create their own.
With her 20-year tenure in the Corporate world, Anu had the passion and expertise to design unique STEM classes. Starting in 2016 with just a few students, STEM Minds has now empowered over 65,000 students with STEM and STEAM education.
With Jason Learning partnership this impact has added anothe 1.5Million students in USA. Now, in partnership with JASON Learning, we’re bringing the lessons we have learned and the courses we have crafted to students, teachers, and parents in the United States. STEM Minds resources will be available through JASON Learning’s digital platform.

What Are Pepole Saying About Us
“At the end of the workshop the first comment from my students was “when can we do this again?” They not only enjoyed the workshop but came away with much more knowledge that they applied in a fun way! I consider myself knowledgeable in terms of teaching coding, but what they learned from STEM Minds took it to another level!”
