Join us in celebrating our 10th Anniversary!

The Foundry is excited to announce it has been awarded $225,000 from Foundation 214 to sustain the next three years of expanded afterschool STEAM programming for middle schools in Buffalo Charter and Public School District.

Afterschool programs with The Foundry provide an arts, design, and technology educational experience that is hands-on and transformative to underserved Buffalo youths. Foundry programming focuses on assisting students develop lifelong science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics (STEAM) skills where students increase their confidence and explore possible careers in STEAM fields.
