Built for the Smartest Kids You’ve Never Heard
Tech Hub is California’s most advanced STEAM program for gifted middle schoolers from at-risk communities built to expose brilliance, ignite ambition, and fast-track college readiness for our future leaders. Think ‘Student Based Mensa Pipeline’ designed to catch them young!
"Field Experiences” that shatter the classroom ceiling giving our most gifted STEAM students rare, all-access passes into the heart of the world’s most iconic technology, education, sports, and entertainment brands with ‘bigger than life’ impact.
These immersive, behind-the-scenes journeys unveil real-world careers, cutting-edge innovations, and the living pulse of STEAM in action.
Designed to ignite passion and unlock potential, these elite excursions are more than field trips they are catalytic experiences. Students witness firsthand the powerful fusion of science, creativity, and leadership that drives industry giants forward.
Because one spark of inspiration can launch a lifetime of impact.
In week two, building on students' STEAM journeys, we hold dynamic, interactive after-school team-based workshops. These are engineered to transform inspiration into action.
Guided by expert mentors and sometimes visiting industry professionals, students collaborate on real-world challenges tied directly to their field trip experience. Through hands-on building, creative problem-solving, and leadership in action, they begin to see themselves not just as learners but as future innovators.
These interactive workshops combine critical thinking, communication, and technical skill-building with the energy of team collaboration and the insight of guest speakers from leading industries. It’s more than enrichment it’s acceleration.
This is where future changemakers are forged. This is how we build the STEAM pipeline one bold student at a time.
Students of TH are given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Through exclusive access to Synthesis the elite ‘alternative education’ born on the SpaceX campus, is a strategy and systems-thinking platform originally built for SpaceX employees’ children, our students join a private global arena once reserved for the families of rocket scientists.
This isn’t public. This isn’t ordinary.
This is where the children of SpaceX engineers sharpen their minds and now, Tech Hubb students are sitting at that same table, playing, competing, and growing alongside them.
Backed by Elon Musk’s belief that “the more you gamify education, the faster kids will learn,” Synthesis trains students to think exponentially, collaborate under pressure, and solve complex problems creatively, “all under the guise of fun”.
This is more than access. It’s acceleration. It’s a belief in potential. And it’s a door that rarely opens for anyone outside SpaceX.
They’re not just lucky. They’re chosen.
Tech Hub was born from a bold challenge: a local school superintendent came to us with a problem—her most brilliant students, stuck in standardized CORE curriculum, were not being supported properly, These are the gifted/advanced learners who ‘get’ what the teachers were sharing in 5-15 minutes and quickly get bored in most of their classes & were at-risk of being lost in the masses.
In response, we created Tech Hub—a first-of-its-kind STEAM accelerator designed for gifted, high-achieving youth from Title I schools and low-income households, who would otherwise never access the world-class opportunities their talents deserve.
These students are the 1% within the 99%—bright, driven, and often overlooked due to their zip code or income status. Your support helps us identify and invest in these exceptional minds early providing real-world exposure, career-connected learning, and a powerful alternative to streets, screens, or stagnation.
California’s premier STEAM accelerator for gifted advanced middle schoolers from economically challenged homes. Join us in transforming gifted underrepresented youth into tomorrow’s engineers, creators, and leaders.
When you support Family First Foundation, you're not just giving—you’re investing in the next generation of engineers, artists, entrepreneurs, and changemakers.
"The development of the nation's human capital through our education system is an essential building block for future innovation...”

STEM industry has played a crucial role in strengthening, maintaining, and protecting our nation's security through the development and deployment of advanced technologies. This includes the creation of secure communication systems and networks that safeguard sensitive information.
"Family First America is building the country’s first Youth Mensa pipeline—and we can’t do it without visionary partners like you. "

We encourage attendees who otherwise couldn't afford such opportunities. We wish to give young people without means a fun and memorable experience, inspire them to envision life on a bigger scale, and experience what they otherwise couldn’t because of the high costs of these events.
