From their website:
"The Geek Group is a nonprofit educational, scientific, and cultural
organization dedicated to the study and advancement of science and
technology. Our intent is to make science and technology accessible and
interesting to the general public and to encourage learning through hands-on
experience, experimentation, exploration, and research. We seek to fill a
gap overlooked by the current educational system, encouraging students to
think critically and learn through exploration, by providing information,
instruction, equipment, and other resources outside the constraints of a
traditional classroom environment.
The Geek Group was founded by individuals whose desire to learn, to
experiment, and to think critically often left them unsupported in a
traditional classroom. Therefore, we believe that learning is a lifelong
process, that the capacity to learn is inherent in all individuals, and that
learning is maximized when students are inspired to explore, discover, and
reach the answers to their own questions in an environment conducive to
intellectual exploration.
To this end, The Geek Group is dedicated to making the fields of science and
technology accessible to the general public through the presentation of
educational activities and programs; the provision of information,
equipment, and other resources; and the establishment of safe and supportive
facilities that create an environment conducive to learning.
Because the Geek shall inherit the Earth!"
