Curiosity Creators is a A 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with the goal to enact positive change through STEM, driven by our passion and our mission to inspire and enact positive change. We’re committed to fostering an increased curiosity in STEM in young minds with the hope of instilling a lifelong passion.
Curiosity Creators is a nonprofit organization founded on February 22, 2024 by Noah Xi, Ryan Zhao, and Nathan Luo: three close friends who were sophomores at Ridge High School at the time of the organization's founding. We collaborate with local organizations to help stimulate learning in local youth through various activities such as science fairs and summer camps.

“Curiosity Creators brought an exciting, hands-on workshop to Somerset County 4-H Science-sational Day in 2024, exploring polarizing light and computers. The interactive session captivated young participants and featured inspiring teen mentors who may have sparked the next generation of STEM enthusiasts. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with this fantastic group!"

"Noah and Max were incredibly helpful assisting with my coding mini units in the fall and winter. He was flexible, responsive to student needs, and communicated with the 4th and 5th graders in an age-appropriate manner."

"It has been an absolute pleasure having Ryan volunteer with our after school LEGO Mini-Unit at Cedar Hill School. His enthusiasm, responsibility, and ability to connect with the children truly stood out. Ryan consistently arrived on time, took initiative with setup and cleanup, and engaged each child with patience and encouragement. His interactive approach helped spark creativity and teamwork among the children. I was grateful for his dedication and the positive he brought to my course each week!"
