A Transformative Approach to Work-Based Learning (WBL)

Monumental Impact empowers high school and college students to explore careers in technology, engineering, and entrepreneurship through authentic, hands-on experiences. What sets us apart? We don’t simulate the workplace—we are the workplace.

🔧 Real Projects, Real Tools, Real Mentorship—and Real Makers

Our community includes more than students and mentors. We are proud that adult professional makers—current entrepreneurs and retired industry experts—are also active MITEE Members. They engage shoulder-to-shoulder with learners, sharing real-world insights, sparking creativity, and inspiring next-gen innovators.

They gain:

🛠️ Technical Skills – CAD, coding, machining, electronics, fabrication, prototyping
🧠 Career-Readiness – Project planning, teamwork, time management, communication
🚀 Entrepreneurial Mindsets – Resourcefulness, initiative, problem-solving, value creation

🤝 Learning With Purpose, Not Prescribed Paths

Our programs are intentionally informal. Students are guided, not micromanaged. They work in fluid teams, choose their focus areas, and explore multiple career paths through:

✅ Competitive Robotics – Building, coding, and competing as part of high-performance teams
✅ Social Enterprise – Creating products, services, and events that fund student innovation
✅ Mentorship & Industry Engagement – Connecting with real professionals, not just classroom guests.

Our difference? These professionals are members, not visitors. They bring ongoing experience, creative energy, and industry insight into every project and team.

🏗️ A Makerspace That Mirrors the Future of Work

In our coworking makerspace, cross‑generational collaboration is real and dynamic. Students work alongside adult innovators—entrepreneurs, technologists, and retired mentors—sharing tools, ideas, and the spirit of making.

🎯 The Impact: Work-Ready, Career-Confident Students

Monumental Impact doesn’t just prepare students for college or the next job—it builds lifelong learners with the confidence and capability to create, lead, and adapt. Our graduates don’t just join the workforce—they help shape it.

💬 “It’s not just what we’re learning—it’s how we’re applying it.”
