Who we are, what we believe, and why STEM and literacy education matters.
Bottor Learning Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering students through innovative STEM and literacy education. We believe that every student deserves access to hands-on learning experiences that build curiosity, confidence, critical thinking, and the problem-solving skills needed to succeed in school and in life.
Headquartered in Wisconsin, we work with schools, libraries, educators, and community organizations to expand access to high-quality STEM and literacy programming for students who need it most.
The Bottor Learning Foundation empowers students through innovative STEM and literacy education that inspires curiosity, strengthens critical thinking, and fosters creativity through hands-on, interactive learning experiences.
We are committed to expanding access to high-quality educational opportunities that prepare young learners with the knowledge, confidence, and problem-solving skills needed to succeed in school and beyond.
We believe that education transforms lives — and that great education is built on curiosity, creativity, and the confidence that comes from learning by doing. A student who develops strong STEM and literacy skills early is a student who is prepared to succeed in school, their community, and the future workforce.
We also believe that access to quality educational experiences should not depend on a family's income, zip code, or circumstances. That is why equity and access are central to everything we do.
We embrace creative, hands-on approaches to teaching and learning that engage and inspire.
We work to remove barriers to STEM and literacy resources for all students.
We support each student's learning journey with patience, encouragement, and high expectations.
We partner with educators, schools, and families to strengthen learning together.
We envision a future where every student — regardless of background — has access to hands-on STEM and literacy learning experiences that inspire curiosity and build the skills needed to thrive. We are working toward communities where education is supported at home, in classrooms, and through programs that meet students where they are.
Bottor Learning Foundation is building a long-term commitment to STEM and literacy education across Wisconsin, with a goal of expanding our reach to additional communities nationwide. Through partnerships with schools, libraries, and community organizations, we aim to create meaningful, lasting impact in how students experience learning.
Our work focuses on young learners — from early childhood through the elementary years — who benefit most from early exposure to hands-on STEM and literacy experiences. We also support the teachers, families, and community partners who play a vital role in students' educational journeys.
Whether through hands-on STEM activities, literacy support, project-based learning, or interactive educational tools, our programs are designed to meet students and families where they are — and help them move forward with confidence.
