Ready Set STEM

Thats a wrap on our internal FIRST LEGO League spring season!

Our two classes faced off in a best-of-three final, going head to head with robots they built, programmed, and refined over the season. We are so proud of every one of them.

What comes next? Students can grow with us through three competitive programs: FIRST LEGO League, VEX IQ, and FIRST Tech Challenge.

Thank you 🙏🏽.We’re deeply honored and grateful for this recognition.

Ready Set Code was built with a simple belief: every student deserves access to world-class STEM education — not just those who can afford it. Earning both the Best in STEM distinction and the STEM Accredited™ Trustmark validates years of hard work from our instructors, students, families, and community partners.

Thank you for recognizing our commitment to quality, rigor, and equitable access. We’re excited to keep raising the bar and expanding opportunities for even more learners.

Ready Set Code has been selected as a Best In STEM™ organization by STEM.org | Educational Research and has also earned the STEM.org Accredited™ Trustmark—a dual recognition reserved for programs that demonstrate exceptional quality, rigor, and integrity in STEM education.

The distinction reflects a sustained commitment to widening access to high-quality, future-ready learning. Ready Set Code’s origins trace back to APS Training Academy, a nonprofit initiative established to deliver free STEM instruction to underserved communities. As that work matured, a second need became clear: families just beyond traditional income thresholds sought the same caliber of instruction—accessible, practical, and affordable. Ready Set Code emerged to meet that need without diluting standards or outcomes.

Today, the organization offers a comprehensive, hands-on curriculum spanning coding fundamentals, computer-aided design, artificial intelligence, robotics, the Internet of Things, cybersecurity, data science and analytics, game development, augmented reality, and web and mobile application development. Programs are designed to engage students with real-world challenges while cultivating technical fluency, ethical judgment, and collaborative problem-solving.

STEM.org’s evaluation process assesses program design, instructional quality, learner outcomes, equity of access, and continuous improvement. Earning both Best In STEM™ recognition and the STEM.org Accredited™ Trustmark signals that Ready Set Code meets—and sustains—these standards across operations and delivery.

Beyond coursework, Ready Set Code emphasizes community building and long-term impact: nurturing curiosity, strengthening digital confidence, and preparing learners to contribute responsibly in an interconnected world. The recognition affirms an approach that balances affordability with excellence, and access with accountability—ensuring that opportunity in STEM education is not determined by circumstance, but by commitment to quality.

Together, these honors underscore Ready Set Code’s role as a credible, high-impact provider—one that translates purpose into practice and sets a clear benchmark for inclusive, effective STEM education. 🏆
