What is EPIC?
Experimenting, Prototyping, Inventing and Creating
Our STEM-focused curriculum allows students to imagine, research, design, create and present an invention or idea that would improve life for kids like those at St. Jude.
With our free and flexible five-lesson format, you can participate from the classroom or from home.
