Who We Are
Empowering the Next Generation
The Wakaboomee Program is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit transforming lives through STEAM, Wellness, and Entrepreneurship Education for Pre-K to 12th grade students.
We serve under-resourced and Title I school communities across North Carolina – ensuring equitable access to world-class learning opportunities that inspire Innovation, leadership, and purpose.
Founded in 2016, Wakaboomee has evolved from a children’s storybook into a statewide movement, partnering with corporations, educators, and youth-led organizations to prepare the next generation of change-makers.
We facilitate a wide range of sessions available in both virtual and in-person formats, with options available every day of the week.
