Our mission is to create opportunities for all students to experience the dynamic and interdisciplinary nature of science, sparking wonder and appreciation for both the natural and designed world. Through hands-on, standards-based lessons, we encourage students to stay curious and engage their minds as they participate in science and engineering practices to make sense of everyday phenomena. Our goal is to equip all students with the skills, knowledge, and habits of mind needed to critically observe, interpret, and eventually contribute to an ever-evolving world.
