Founded: 1995

RAFT is a non-profit organization that believes hands-on teaching is the best way for students to learn about math, science, technology and art. We provide creative hands-on activities, educational resources, workshops and inexpensive materials to enrich pre K-12 education and community group programs. Our goal is to assist teachers by providing materials and ideas for day-to-day teaching and professional growth. Our materials are donated to us from local businesses and creatively repurposed by our education staff into hands-on activities. These materials would normally end up in our community's landfill. Imagine a small car made from plastic caps, binder clips, sticks and a mousetrap, or a small rocket made from a plastic bottle, straws and foam - this is the MAGIC of RAFT!
