SEI Research Shows NIHF Program Boosts Attendance, Grades and Test Scores

How Our Programming Helps Students Succeed

To ensure the hands-on STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) programming to ignite children’s natural curiosity, for over 30 years we have dedicated ourselves to a culture of continuous improvement and iteration.

Part of this process includes partnering with independent research organizations that provide our education team with unbiased data to inform the development of our educational programming. One longstanding partnership is with the Summit Education Initiative (SEI), a nonprofit research organization that tests the effectiveness and impact of out-of-school time programming.
