MAKING THE SHIFT - CREATING A BETTER FUTURE.

Making The Shift Foundation exists to level the playing field for youth in overlooked and underserved communities—equipping them with the tools, confidence, and support they need to thrive.

Through hands-on STEAM education, leadership development, and purpose-driven mentorship, we spark innovation, build self-worth, and help students see a future they can shape for themselves.

“It’s not just about tech skills—it’s about believing they belong in every room.”

Founded by Andres Hurtado Rangel, Making The Shift Foundation is committed to empowering the next generation of leaders—one project, one classroom, and one life at a time.

At Making The Shift Foundation, we create environments where young minds can thrive. Our work includes:

STEAM Labs & School Partnerships
Mentorship for Growth & Guidance
Mental Wellness Tools for Youth
Family Resources & Enrichment Camps

Each program is designed to spark curiosity, build emotional resilience, and create long-term opportunity—for students, families, and communities.

Too many kids are told what they can’t do. At Making The Shift Foundation, we show them what they can build, lead, and become—with access, support, and belief.

“We’re not just filling gaps. We’re creating builders, thinkers, and leaders.”

Help Us Build Young Innovators—One School at a Time

Making The Shift Foundation empowers students across the Americas through hands-on STEAM learning—blending Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math with real-world skills like coding, robotics, literacy, and mentoring.

Our Basic Schools, established by local parents in remote rural village communities, are designed to spark curiosity, develop problem-solving skills, and prepare young minds for a future filled with opportunity.

We serve Pre-K through 5th grade students in underserved areas—where access to technology, quality education, and mentorship is limited. All programs are designed to be inclusive, adaptable, and accessible to local educators, volunteers, and teen mentors—no prior robotics or STEAM experience needed.

“Our mission was born from a simple truth: real change doesn’t start in systems—it starts in people. When individuals are equipped with confidence, emotional intelligence, and the tools of innovation, they begin to see possibility where others see limitation. And when one person shifts, families shift. Communities shift. Generations shift. That is the impact we strive for every day.”
