My 12 yrs. boy take the Astros STEM tour and me as a chaperone, this was a marvelous experience for my son, he learns a lot and how STEM is applied and used in the Minute Maid Stadium, the tour guides ladies was very professional and courteous, but this amazing experience was possible only with Bridges of Science support, thank you for this opportunity.
I am fortunate to have been introduced to Bridges to Science!
This organization is opening the way for future career opportunities to our school aged students, by allowing them to be exposed to high quality STEM initiative programs.
When our daughters assisted their first event organized by Bridges to Science (Houston Science Festival), they were skeptical at first. They genuinely thought it would be boring and just another school program, but once they start participating and engaging in the different activities available, they were amazed and excited to learn more.
Truly these innovative programs presented by Bridges to Science are impacting our Hispanic community as well, by equipping the students with up to date information and providing them with a plethora of resources. All of these will help them adapt to the constant changes happening in the fields of STEM.

We love B2S. My kids look forward to going to the worshops every time because it’s a lot of learning through play. You’re never too old to play.. I love that they learn with their hands and have fun at it too. As a homeschool family, we are blessed to have an organization such as this.

En este evento fue muy reconfirtante platicar con otras familias y con personas que han sido formadas en este sistema. El ver como mis niñas aprendieron mediante el juego, de como todos y cada uno de las personas que estaban en cada estacion se emocionaban y les transmitian el gusto por las ciencias fue algo indescriptible! Gracias a todos y cada uno de los que hicieron este evento tan maravilloso, se nota el amor y las horas dedicadas a este bellos proyecto! Mi familia y yi siempre estaremos agradecidos por el gran impacto que han tenido en la educacion de mis niñas.
Bridges to Science is amazing for our homeschool community!
The Houston Science Festival Casa-to-College event was such an amazing experience. We can't wait until next year's event!
My kids loved the tech kits that they received. Tools to learn on the go, is very much appreciated! My homeschool family loves bridges to science events!
Bridges to Science has significantly helped our homeschool group in any ways. One major contribution has been their assistance in funding a robotics class to make it more accessible to those in our group. They are a delight to work with and passionate about helping homeschool kids get the opportunities they otherwise would not have.
They are wonderful people and a great organization. My son received a tech kit and we are very grateful. Thank You!
This organization genuinely helps the homeschool community by providing access to STEM learning and outreach to Latino homeschool students. We thoroughly enjoyed the science festival and look forward to what they'll organize next.
We were grateful to attend their science festival. My child was able to meet a range of different professionals and students in the science and math fields. It was a special opportunity that they wouldn't have had access to elsewhere especially not free of charge. We also received a technology kit that will allow my child to access more resources in their homeschooling experience.
My family received a tech kit and it has been a huge blessing. They are an awesome nonprofit that is truly making a difference in the community. Thank you for supporting them.
The Tech Kit that we received helped with homeschooling both kids at the same time. We previously had to take turns using the laptop. This is a huge help and a great nonprofit.
This is an awesome organization that gave to our homeschool community. One of the few resource opportunities given to homeschoolers in our area. My kiddo was able to benefit from it and we are so very grateful
My boys have attended several Bridges to Science workshops. The first one was held at a library. I met Rosa, the founder, and we connected so well. So we decided to volunteer for 2 other events. My boys (17 yrs old & 12 yrs old at that time) helped with registration and also assisted in a booth, where younger students would build structures using Geometiles. At the most recent workshop, my now 13 yr old volunteered and assisted younger students to learn chess. This organization has been great for us because we are a middle-to-low income family where only my husband works (so that I can stay home to homeschool). Many science activities are expensive. And many times it is the lack of knowledge or creativity on my part. But public school is not an option. My oldest son was bullied and caused emotional & mental scars that he will never go back. Bridges to Science helps fill in the gaps for us in the areas of STEM. And they have given my boys the opportunity to volunteer & gain leadership experience.
We wanted to send you a thank you from our family for organizing such a wonderful event, the Houston Science Festival. Our two older girls were very happy with the technology kits and with the entire event, from start to finish. Everything was very well-prepared and thought out. We are a Hispanic family that started homeschooling less than a year ago. This event has given us so much encouragement, knowing that there is a Hispanic community that also educates at home like us. We heard about the event at our co-op and looked forward to it for several weeks! We were the first to arrive at the event that morning :-)... Thank you very much again for all your work! It was such a blessing to be able to take our older girls (the little one joined us later), and we all had a great time! It gave us a lot of encouragement and joy!”
Bridges to Science lives up to it's name. I love seeing students participate in science up close and realize they love it! STEM should be this exciting and accessible for everyone. From robotics to science festivals, Bridges to science brings science to life.
Bridges to Science has been great... not just to me, but to many homeschool families who needed an ally. The science festival was a great opportunity for parents to see that they are not alone, and that their children can succeed in STEM fields, even if they are not in traditional school.
The tech kits were also a blessing for so many families who are low income/one-income households, multiple children, etc.
Best way is to learn thru play and we experience that with Lots of Hands on learning. Great way for kids to interact & grasp concepts. Thank you.
We had an amazing time at the Bridges to Science Festival! My son got to participate in so many different STEM activities. He met a lot of different people from different places that peaked his interest. We attended a panel with people who work in STEM careers, it was so informative. One of the people on the panel was actually Homeschooled and that was great to see! The event was well organized and we would love to see this happen again. The technology kit we recieved was truly a blessing to a low income homeschool family like us. Thank you Bridges to Science!
I recently had the chance to volunteer with Bridges to Science for seven weeks as a pro bono strategy consultant. My time with the organization was truly fulfilling and inspiring. Bridges to Science is a fantastic organization that aims to guide and influence individuals from underserved communities toward STEM education. Their dedication to empowering communities and bridging educational gaps is admirable. Throughout my volunteering experience, I witnessed firsthand the passion and commitment of the Bridges to Science team. They genuinely care about the well-being and future of the individuals they serve. Their unwavering dedication to supporting underserved communities in pursuing STEM education was evident in every decision and interaction. I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute my skills and expertise to such a worthwhile cause and to have worked alongside such a dedicated team at Bridges to Science. This experience has opened my eyes to the profound impact education and proper guidance can have on individuals and communities.
Bridges to Science has helped our school inmensely. Their Coding Club has exposed our students to materials, lessons, and very relevant and motivational speakers (i.e. from Google, Amazon, etc.), that otherwise they would have never known. This is a nonprofit that truly cares for the students and tries to close the gap in this underserved community.
This group is so friendly and supportive. My son looks forward to his group lesson every week, and he is excited to start working on the competition with his fellow teammates. Looking forward to a fun and educational year!
My son joined a Bridges to Science coding club last month. Every time he leaves a club meeting he is excited about what he is learning. As a mom, I’m thankful to have found a safe place for him to gain coding skills, and build positive relationships with peers.
My kiddos participate in the Coding Club and Math Circle offered by Bridges to Science. They have grown and learned things that they otherwise would have never experienced. The speakers they are exposed to are very enriching.
My oldest son has been in Bridges to Science Math Circle for several years now. He absolutely enjoys it! Rosa, the founder is truly wonderful…the amount of time and energy she puts into this group is amazing. My son has learned so much from her and this group, we are really grateful for these last several years in math circle. Rosa helps bring out the fun in learning and creates wonderful opportunities for the students to enjoy each topic. This organization deserves all the best❤️
When I started to look for extracurricular classes for our homeschool, it was gratifying to find the programs Bridges to Science offers to our communities, classes that add value to real life and that are not just time fillers. It has been an awesome opportunity for my son to participate and benefited from all the sessions he has been able to attend. We are very thankful!
Bridges to Science has been an integral part of our homeschool journey. Mrs. Rosa does an amazing job getting informative speakers, planning engaging projects and most importantly, loving and guiding both parents and students through exciting learning opportunities. We love the combination of online and in person meetings and Rosa did a phenomenal job not only keeping Bridges to Science going strong during the pandemic, but growing and expanding this great program. I'm so thankful for the many opportunities she has found and implemented for my boys to love learning, serving and exploring all the opportunities available to them.
B2S has sparked a joy of math and coding in my children. It has been so successful that my oldest now helps "pay it forward" and enjoys teaching others. Two additional children of mine are participating this year! We are grateful and thankful to have B2S in my childrens lives.
Bridges to Science has exceeded my expectations with their dedication to and passion for providing unique opportunities for their students and their families. The variety of organizations and guest speakers my children have been able to interact with has been such a blessing. We are looking forward to another year participating in their Coding Club.
