History

In today's world, students are often engrossed in their phones and the digital realm of video games. Also our education system tends to prioritize those on a college-bound track. STRIVE was founded on the firm belief that all students should have the opportunity to engage in hands-on learning from an early age.

Our journey began with Argyle Robotics, an afterschool program designed to immerse students in hands-on activities. The response was overwhelmingly positive, leading us to expand the club to both Intermediate and Middle schools.

Building on this success, we established the Entrepreneur Leadership Foundation to instill entrepreneurship principles in the next generation. Additionally, our involvement with the Argyle Education Foundation has furthered our mission to provide leadership in education.

Launching The STRIVE Experience is our latest effort to offer students a unique, hands-on learning environment. We invite you to join us in promoting this essential approach to education, empowering students with critical life skills.
