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.

Take a look at example prompts and inventions.

Thank you for helping St. Jude kids

With your support, families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food — because all a family should worry about is helping their child live.
