A student-built robot just won 1st place in the world.
Leap Hub Education is a nonprofit STEM and robotics organization based in Princeton Junction, NJ. We teach kids to build, code, and compete — through hands-on classes and FIRST Tech Challenge teams like Cool Name Pending, Technoverse, and Crimson Override, plus Cool Name Found, our newest team. Every program here exists because someone believed a kid deserved the chance to build something real. That someone could be you.
We're actively raising funds to get Team #30439 to the next stage — and we need help to get there.
Every student deserves a real shot at STEM. That's why we're here.
We're a nonprofit of experienced educators and STEM specialists devoted to closing the STEM-gap — giving students of every background and skill level an equal chance to build a real passion for engineering.
Our mission is to nurture the next generation of professionals, innovative thinkers, and future leaders, regardless of zip code or income.
"We aspire to a future where skin color, zip code, income, and gender don't determine a kid's educational and career prospects."
None of this happens on its own. It takes a community of parents, mentors, and supporters who believe in these students before the trophies ever show up — donors, volunteers, and neighbors who decide a kid's potential is worth investing in early. That community is who this page is for.
Officially recognized as a tax-exempt organization.
Donations are tax-deductible.

See exactly what your donation builds.
Robots, tools, and travel to competitions cost real money — and most of our families couldn't cover it alone. When you give, you're not filling a line item. You're the reason a kid gets to walk into a competition instead of watching from the sidelines. Here's exactly where it goes.
Get a team to the starting line
Tournament registration, travel, and entry fees are what stand between a team and the chance to compete at all. Your gift covers the real, unglamorous costs that make competing possible.

Turn parts into a working robot
Motors, sensors, and control systems — the physical parts every team rebuilds from, season after season. This fund keeps our workshop stocked so no student starts from empty hands.
Support this fund →
Open the door for a first-time coder
Free and low-cost programming instruction for students who've never written a line of code. For many kids, this fund is the first time STEM feels like something meant for them too.
Support this fund →We need you and your help.
It's impossible to help people without people helping others. Our mentors, coaches, and event-day volunteers are the community that makes this program real — not just funding, but time, expertise, and someone showing up. If that's you, we'd love to meet you.
Become a volunteer
Every award starts on a workbench.
CNC routing, 3D printing, and hours of hands-on build time — this is what happens between competitions.
Every donation is an investment in a young engineer.
You'd be joining a community of parents, mentors, and neighbors who believe every student deserves a real shot at building something extraordinary. All gifts are tax-deductible — and every one gets a team closer to the next World Championship stage.
