UNBOUND
Our 501(c)3 non-profit prepares underserved students for the Future of Work by focusing on STEAM education through project-based learning.
​
Since the very beginning, NuMinds has imposed a 10% giving structure on itself, where 10% of profits are allocated to underserved populations. This includes scholarships, programs for refugees in the U.S. and abroad, and providing STEM/STEAM education to rural and inner-city schools.
We are a for-profit business that is in business to change the world. The more we make, the more we gladly give away.
You can support NuMinds by purchasing our services and products (10% of all sales are given to Education Unbound), supporting the Non-profit with a financial gift earmarked for "STEAM Programs," or through the purchase/lease of artwork by internationally renowned artist, Weeda Hamdan.

ABOUT NUMINDS
NuMinds Enrichment was created in 2013 by two rebellious public school teachers, Ben Koch and Justin Vawter. Before NuMinds, Ben and Justin were master teachers, who brought their love of learning to the classroom. However, their spark made them different, forcing them to exist as "rogue" teachers who toed the line between following orders and creating a sacred learning space for their students.
After experiencing first-hand what happens when curriculum is standardized and made to "fit every student," Ben and Justin solidified their human-centric vision and started their venture. NuMinds was their way of sharing real inspired learning with the world.
OUR COMMUNITY
We have been fortunate to partner with the following organizations to bring real inspired learning across the globe.
