The program started as a voluntary initiative in 2016 and has since collaborated with startups, UC Berkeley alumni, and Silicon Valley Big Tech firms. Violet Purple STEM Programs has been presented at the STEAM Symposium in 2018, and students have had the opportunity to present experiments at NASA Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The mission of the program is to connect with leading thinkers to inspire students to become creative, innovative leaders. Caitlin Christopherson, an elementary school teacher from Fremont Unified School District, praised the program for allowing students to explore coding in an interactive and engaging way.
