Built by educators and engineers — for schools.
We build the only K-12 AgTech program that doubles as a cafeteria supply chain. Commercial-grade hardware, project-based curriculum, grant-funded delivery — engineered for the way schools actually operate.
Why we built this.
[PLACEHOLDER — replace with the real founding story.] STEM Turnkey started with a simple observation: high schools were spending enormous budgets on STEM programs that lived entirely on paper, while their cafeteria operations stayed locked into commercial supply chains they couldn’t control. Two completely different problems — that turned out to have the same solution.
[PLACEHOLDER — replace with the real founding story.] We spent the next several years engineering a single integrated answer: a turnkey Controlled Environment Agriculture lab paired with a multi-disciplinary K-12 curriculum. The lab feeds the cafeteria. The curriculum runs through the lab. One capital line item, two operational wins.
[PLACEHOLDER — replace with the real founding story.] Every spec — tower count, controller logic, lesson cadence, grant alignment — has been hardened into a package any K-12 campus can deploy with the right room and the right capital plan. That’s the company in one sentence: we make it easy for principals to say yes.
Three principles guide every deployment.
We don’t sell hardware and walk away. The program is engineered around how schools actually budget, staff, and operate.
Every hardware decision is back-solved from a learning outcome. The biology lives behind plexiglass for a reason; the controller exposes its sensors for a reason. Students touch real engineering, not a demo.
Commercial-rated electrical, food-safe materials, documented BOMs, and automation that fails safe. Built for institutional facilities review — not a hobbyist build that becomes a liability problem.
The full system maps to USDA Farm to School, Perkins V CTE, and SCBGP language out of the box. We hand your grant writer the boilerplate, the alignment matrix, and the budget narrative.

[Founder Name]
[PLACEHOLDER BIO — replace with the real founder bio.] A short, credibility-first paragraph: background that combines education and engineering, what drove the founding of STEM Turnkey, and the deployments / partnerships behind the current program. Two to four sentences works best here.
[PLACEHOLDER BIO — replace.] A second paragraph (optional) covering credentials, a notable prior project, or the personal motivation. Keep it human; principals buy from people they understand.
