49ers EDU leverages the game of football and Levi's® Stadium as platforms to expose students at an early age to STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art & Math) concepts and careers, creating excitement and engagement around learning. By providing standard-aligned physical and digital enrichment materials to those furthest from resource and opportunity, 49ers EDU can be a catalyst in creating interest and developing STEAM literacy.
As a direct program of the 49ers Foundation, 49ers EDU has reached more than 500,000 Bay Area students and educators through their digital and in-person programming, with the majority served coming from Title 1 designated schools and historically underserved communities.
