Give Lab Equipment a Second Life in Pittsburgh Classrooms

We connect companies with surplus scientific materials to schools and STEM programs that need them — building the next generation of innovators right here in Pittsburgh.

Our Mission

Bridging the STEM Equipment Gap

Too many Pittsburgh classrooms lack the basic tools to teach hands-on science. Meanwhile, companies replace equipment every day. We close that gap.

Collect & Catalog

We partner with labs, hospitals, and tech companies to collect surplus equipment — from microscopes to glassware to sensors — and organize it into a browsable inventory.

Match & Deliver

Schools and after-school STEM programs submit requests, and we match available equipment to their curriculum needs — then coordinate pickup or delivery across the Pittsburgh region.

Inspire & Grow

With the right tools in their hands, students gain real-world lab experience — sparking curiosity and opening doors to careers in science, technology, and engineering.

How It Works

Four Simple Steps

Whether you're donating or requesting, the process is easy.

1

Companies Submit a Donation

Fill out a quick form listing available equipment. Our team reviews and schedules pickup or drop-off at your convenience.

2

We Inspect & Catalog Everything

Each item is checked for safety and usability, then photographed and added to our online inventory with full descriptions.

3

Schools Request What They Need

Educators browse available items or submit a wish list. We match equipment to curriculum goals and classroom needs.

4

Equipment Reaches Classrooms

We coordinate delivery across the Pittsburgh area — from Oakland labs to classrooms in every neighborhood.
