Seven years later, Steve and Stephen teamed up as summer interns for South Washington County Community Schools Community Education, creating digital solutions for various projects around the district including digital registrations for their after school programs. Here, they began to recognize an industry with many unique problems but without many solutions.

For the last two decades, they've worked closely with the nation’s top districts, building out functionality to solve the challenges of today’s modern age of child care, community education, preschool programming, and facilities management.

But their most significant accomplishment over these past 20 years has been building out the Arux team. Arux is a team of marketers, salespeople, customer success specialists, designers, technical writers, and engineers to help continue to enhance the products and scale nationally. As a result of these efforts, Arux technology has grown from a few districts in Minnesota in the early 2000s to almost 250 districts across 28 states.

Our mission is to build software that eliminates barriers for after school, community education, and preschool programs, enabling programming to reach families and community members.
