Jake Effress founded Launch Engine to inspire a love of engineering through original, hands-on projects for schools, student organizations, and at-risk youth programs



Morgan Litt joined Launch Engine because most kids never get the chance to build or code a robot, and building his first robot is what got him into engineering. He wants every kid to have that same opportunity.
