What a year it has been for the Little Scientists Academy!

As we officially release our 2025 Annual Report, we’re taking a moment to step back and marvel at the incredible momentum we’ve built together. This isn’t just a collection of data; it’s a testament to a community that believes every child deserves a seat at the table of innovation.

In a year marked by global uncertainty, our mission remained a constant. We didn’t just maintain our programs—we strengthened them, reaching more students and empowering more educators than ever before.

Making STEM Truly Inclusive

At the heart of our success this year was our unwavering commitment to inclusion. We believe that your background should never dictate your potential in STEM.

  • Virtual Learning Environment (VLE): Our open-source platform reached over 2,000 visitors, providing teachers worldwide with the tools to bring coding and robotics into any classroom.
  • Accessibility in Action: Through our partnership with Sunrise, we were able to offer LEGO Robotics workshops to children holding KulturLegi cards, ensuring that socioeconomic barriers don’t stand in the way of high-quality education.
  • Bridging the Gap: We are proud to share that approximately 38% of our workshop participants were girls, a significant step toward our goal of closing the gender gap in technology.

Growth Powered by Community

This year was also a milestone for our organizational foundation. We elected a new, highly qualified Board and officially achieved tax-exempt status, ensuring that every donation we receive works harder for the children we serve.

From our “Innovation Lab” partnerships with schools like ETH Zurich and Oberrieden to the tireless energy of our volunteers, Little Scientists has grown into a powerful ecosystem of support. Whether it was through 2,200 hours of STEM activities or the launch of our new video initiative, the energy of 2025 was palpable.

Looking Ahead to 2026

We are heading into the new year with immense gratitude and a clear vision. As we explore new frontiers like Artificial Intelligence and further expand our partnerships, our core belief remains the same: we are here to help kids find their footing in a changing world.

An unsere Freiwilligen, Partner und Unterstützer: Ihr seid das Herzstück jedes Durchbruchs. To our volunteers, partners, and supporters: You are the heart of every breakthrough. Thank you for making 2025 a standout year.

“The world of STEM is always changing, and we are committed to changing with it.”
