Learn. Grow. Empower. Together.
Lumora Community Network brings hands-on STEM, digital literacy, and AI navigation workshops to seniors, underserved adults, and youth across Minnesota's East Metro, taught by scientists and engineers who believe knowledge should lift everyone up.
Our logo tells our story: three diverse community members rising from a shared foundation of knowledge, an open book, with light behind them. That is what we do every day: meet people where they are, teach practical skills, and help them navigate a world that moves faster every year.
We prepare and deliver educational materials and in-person workshops at community centers, making STEM, technology, and health literacy accessible to people who are too often left behind.
Hands-on STEM and science literacy workshops for children, youth, and adults, from vaccine education to responsible AI use in the classroom.
Programs designed for seniors, recently incarcerated adults, and other underserved groups, with patient pacing, accessible language, and real-world practice.
Practical AI navigation skills that help people find trustworthy information, navigate everyday services, and build confidence, not replace their judgment.
Teach seniors and underserved adults how to use AI safely for everyday tasks: finding trustworthy information, navigating services like jobs, benefits, and health care, and knowing when to trust a source, with guidance from people who build AI tools professionally.

We focus on Dakota, Ramsey, and Washington counties, bringing workshops directly to community centers where people already gather, learn, and connect.
Serving communities across the East Metro, where neighbors help neighbors learn and grow.
Every new program launches with a small test cohort of 5–15 people to work out logistics and content before scaling to larger sessions of 30–50 participants.
We create video tutorials and downloadable materials during each workshop so content can reach a broader audience with minimal additional effort.
Workshops happen at community centers, not university campuses, with accessible language, hands-on practice, and facilitators who listen.
