About SLACKERS Foundation

Our Mission

SLACKERS Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit educational organization with the sole directive to make STEM education accessible to youth and the public and free to those who are economically disadvantaged in the world. It is our core principle that every human deserves the opportunity to find their interests, talents, and passions for science and technology through education methods that model the available research in neuroplasticy and education to teach for retention and proficiency in all they learn. The SLACKERS Foundation supports the belief that our communities are strengthened by bringing the public together through the magic of scientific exploration & discovery. 

Building a Better Tomorrow: Project & Event Flyers

SLACKERS CLUB's monthly Documentary Theater features a quality documentary on the most pressing topics in science, accompanied by a pizza party; followed by discussion and a thorough examination of the more significant challenges of this world and sometimes, the universe.

We welcome everyone to join us in our STEM Education Initiatives! Here at SLACKERS Foundation, we believe that Science belongs to everyone! Scientific literacy and public interest should be abounding. So, why aren't they? 


The problem is the very solution... Exposure. Every human possesses the capability to understand Science at every age. The key to widespread scientific literacy lies in widespread STEM education. 


I am reminded of the age old adage, "It takes a village to raise a child." Likewise, it takes a village to teach a child. What if that child could teach a village the value of teaching its children? 


We educate students about how to become teachers. Do we teach students that educators are still students themselves? Exactly to what degree do teachers remain students? Do we truly create and foster an environment for continued STEM education in our society? 


Although there is finally a change occurring for increased interdisciplinary research, there is still a lot left to be desired for interdisciplinary STEM education. Come join our efforts as both an educator and a student, as we embark on this journey to both teach and learn from our youth! 


That is what SLACKERS Foundation is all about... Empowering youth to take control of their education and the trajectory of humanity's future on this planet. It is their future and their planet to inherit. Here, we give them the tools they need to innovate, progress, and survive in our ever changing world. 


Come help us teach our youth how to teach their villages what they need to know in order to teach their children! Say that 5x fast and sign up to volunteer with us today!

SLACKERS CLUB

Volunteer Opportunities

The SLACKERS Foundation origins began with the idea for a simple College Club, and blossomed into a student created Non-profit Organization for STEM Education Reform. Our dream is to see a Chapter of the SLACKERS CLUB at every College and University in the nation, and perhaps one day... the World! 


Science education belongs to everybody. It belongs to all of us. Inside of every student is a teacher, just as inside of every teacher is a student. The power to change the future and save the world is inside of each and every human on this planet. 


We stand at a precipice in our planetary history, not only human history. What we do next will determine the future to come. We have a choice about whether we do something, or nothing at all. SLACKERS Foundation was conceived for this very purpose. To do something. 


We offer our support to every Chapter of the SLACKERS CLUB, as well as opportunities for research, partnerships, funding, scholarships, and so much more! Take advantage of the opportunities to join our STEM Education Initiatives and start a SLACKERS CLUB Chapter at your local College or University!
