why we exist
The future is crafted from bits of yesterday. When we look forward to imagine the world we will one day inhabit that world we imagine is full of the objects, people, and concepts from our present and past. When the children of today are plotting their course through life they to will draw on the experiences of their past, and we must ensure this generation is exposed to the tools and methods which they will need to prosper. No matter where your opinion lies on the topic of man’s impact on climate change, you are surely aware that the earth’s supplies of oil and natural gas are finite.
It is our mission to ensure that each child has an operational familiarity with the energy technologies that can provide them peace of mind through any resource shortage.
Our Partners

When Casey isn’t working he combines found/re-purposed parts with a few purchased ones to create everything from greenhouses to life-sized robots. Were fairly sure he’d rather be soldering up a control circuit right now.

Justin Middleton

Cutting edge tools, more accurate readings, and lots of data are just a few of the things Justin brings to the table every day. He’s the Q to our 007.
