Help us inspire the next generation of engineers by donating to Essex IQ!

Your generosity will ensure that underserved communities have access to enhanced educational opportunities in STEM! Essex IQ is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2019 by Millburn High School Robotics team members to provide free coding and engineering programs to Essex County. Our largest efforts to fulfill our mission are made through robotics summer camps. Our first program started at Payne Tech in Newark, and we've since opened a second location at West Caldwell Tech. For the past four years and hopefully many to come, our middle school-age students have gotten the opportunity to experience the core aspects of robotics — classroom instruction, independent discovery, and team competitions — all within three weeks.

We're thankful for the support of our volunteer mentors and partner school districts, but we require additional funding to continue growing our program and providing this meaningful STEM education opportunity to Essex County students. Your donations will go towards the extra costs of running Essex IQ, including parts, T-shirts for students, prizes for our competition, and other expenses to increase our impact as we continue growing our program.
