A kit designed for STEM education at home.
Ministry of Supply was founded on the idea that by harnessing science and technology, we can design and invent products that unlock your life’s work. As inventors at heart, we believe in the power of STEM education to unlock the next generation of innovators.
During the pandemic, schools across the globe have been challenged with continuing education remotely, especially in STEM fields where lab access and basic supplies are hard to come by. Boston Public Schools - particularly those in Roxbury and East Boston, and predominantly Black and Hispanic students - have been disproportionately affected by this turn of events. As a former BPS student, I closely empathize with this gap. With racial disparities in education now further amplified by the pandemic, we’ve teamed up with Mbadika mLabs - a MIT-founded non-profit founded on the principle that talent is universal, opportunity is not) to support these students, for a collaborative project appropriately named Mº Lab.
The Mº Lab Field Kit is an at-home STEM project that teaches kids the basics of product design and development through the lens of fabric science.
Special thanks to Netia, Mbadika, & the entire M° team.
