Promoting STEM and Arts Education in the Northeast U.S.
Art Technically provides free STEM and Arts education resources, workshops, and outreach events for disadvantaged K-12 students across the Northeast. We primarily work with Title 1 (low-income) and rural area K-12 schools.
Check out some of our recent projects below!

Working with NASA’s Climate Change Research Initiative, Art Technically brought solar eclipse programming to over 1,300 students and educators at Title 1 (low-income) schools in Auburn, New York and Queens, New York. 5th through 12th grade students participated in eclipse science and safety workshops. Art Technically distributed 1,700 pairs of eclipse viewing glasses to these students, their educators, and community members.
Art Technically hosted educational programming for local high school students at the AI Expo for National Competitiveness in Washington, DC last year. The participating students from DC Public Schools participated in an Industry 4.0 workshop where they learned about emergent technologies like Artificial Intelligence, Additive Manufacturing, The Cloud, and the Internet of Things (IoT). Students then Q&A’d with an AI in Education panel which featured scientists and science teachers from NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies.


Art Technically’s Love Letters program teaches students to code Valentine’s Day cards using a Creative Coding platform. Every Valentine’s Day, Art Technically prints these students’ coded Valentine’s Day cards and delivers them to local Meals on Wheels programs. Previous senior services organizations that have received Valentine’s Day cards include Meals on Wheels Boston (Ethos), Meals on Wheels Portsmouth (New Hampshire), Bennington Meals on Wheels (Vermont), Iona Senior Services (Washington, DC) and Rensselaer County’s Department for the Aging (New York). Art Technically has distributed over 5,000 student-coded Valentine’s Day cards since 2018.
As part of NASA’s In-flight Education Downlink program, Art Technically is assisting Richmond Hill High School in Queens, New York with their very own downlink event where students will Q&A live with astronauts onboard the International Space Station in March 2025. Students will participate in STEM and Arts workshops led by Art Technically including Astrobotany workshops and Mission Patch design workshops in the lead-up to the event. Art Technically previously assisted an elementary school’s Downlink event during ISS Expedition 70.


Art Technically has hosted STEM workshops for Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute’s Black Families Technology Awareness Day in 2022, 2023, and 2024, and we will host more workshops this year in 2025. BFTAD is held annually on the first Saturday of Black History Month. Art Technically workshops at BFTAD have included a Young Black Scientists and Engineers Panel, Astrobotany workshops, and Creative Coding workshops.
Art Technically has a STEM and STEAM toy and book donation program. STEM/STEAM toys are donated to children’s hospitals, family shelters, and other organizations where children may be in need. Books are donated to these organizations along with low-income K-12 school libraries. Dinosaur activity kits, toys, and books were donated to the Bernard and Millie Duker Children’s Hospital at Albany Med.
