Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Arts & Culture, Children & Youth, General Science, Natural History & Natural Science Museums, Technology, Youth Development Programs
Mission: Our programs are designed to GET students interested in science, KEEP students interested in science, and EQUIP students with what they need to graduate high school and consider science as possible and desirable options. We address four critical issues: ? Inequality of opportunity ? Lack of diversity ? Outdated teaching methods ? Workforce development How are we different? LOTS of reasons! ? We don?t just focus on getting kids interested in science, we also keep them interested?and equip them to pursue science. ? We focus on personal relationships. Most science organizations (like museums) target thousands of people?they work at the MACRO level; we start at the individual level. ? People get to actually meet and work with scientists ? not just hear about things second- or third-hand. ? We change the way people think about science and how it?s done. ? Most of the people who work in science don?t look like most of America?s population. We?re working to literally change the face of science.
