Kreindler started IT’S ABOUT TIME® (@ItsAboutTimeEDU) in 1996 with Tom Laster, who serves as Co-Founder and Managing Partner. She co-created the vision for the STEM curricula start-up and spearheaded its transformation into a global leader and publisher of innovative experiential programs for STEM learning.

With funding from the NSF (and in partnership with Girl Scouts, Museum of Science, AIChE, WestEd and AGI), IAT’s solutions have empowered thousands of teachers and more than 6 million students. This year, 14,000 teachers and 1.4 million students will be using IAT curricula.

At a crossroads in a broken education system, where effective STEM programs are crucial to economic survival, Kreindler remains tireless in her mission to empower the world’s students through STEM and inspire the next generation of scientists. This commitment to education reform was the catalyst behind the decision by Kreindler and Laster to buy back IT’S ABOUT TIME® in 2011, eight years after selling it to Herff-Jones.

Lifelong entrepreneurs, Kreindler and Laster have also launched the STEM education firm The Learning Team. Kreindler also created her own production company, LKL Productions, for which she served as Founder, President and Executive Producer of acclaimed documentaries including “I Can Do It!” -- about entrepreneurship in America – and “The Solar Advantage,” which spotlighted the benefits of solar power. The former film, which Kreindler produced at the age of 23, was shown at a special screening at the White House.

Born in 1958, Kreindler graduated from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, in 1980 with a degree in fine arts. She and Laster live in Bedford, N.Y., and have two amazing children.
