About LEARN FRESH EDUCATION CO

Learn Fresh is a national nonprofit that designs sports- and entertainment-themed STEM curricula and community program experiences for upper-elementary and middle-school students. Its flagship offerings include NBA Math Hoops, MLB Players STEM League, and MLS STEM Goals, which combine game-based curricula, educator training, and event-based competitions to build math, STEM, and social-emotional skills. The organization operates at scale through partnerships with professional sports leagues, teams, school districts, and afterschool providers. In recent years Learn Fresh has expanded program pilots and regional rollouts (including an MLS STEM Goals pilot in 2024 and recurring NBA Math Hoops and MLB Players STEM League championships), and reports broad reach into low-income communities while documenting measurable gains in student outcomes.
