About Us and our founder Greg Kellner
Meshugena STEAM
Meshugena STEAM was founded in 2023 by Greg Kellner. Meshugena STEAM connects children to Judaism through Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics. STEAM can answer the "How" questions and Judaism answers the "Why" questions. For information about our offerings, please visit the "our programs" page.
​
Our mission is to create a love for Judaism through STEAM. Our objective is for children to feel a connection between Judaism and STEAM through doing hands-on experimentation and science-tech activities.
