What teachers say

  • We have many wonderful students, some of [whom] are not particularly fond of STEM. However, since Science from Scientists have partnered with us in bringing their STEM activities to our after-school program, those students have been able to enjoy STEM more because the activities are engaging, team-focused, and challenging enough for the kids to still have fun.
