Virtual and hybrid opportunities

Distance STEM programs

While most Science from Scientists (SciSci) programming is delivered in person, we’ve curated some of our most popular hands-on lesson experiences to allow schools outside of our service area access to our award-winning programming.

Virtual and hybrid student programming is available for:

home-DuringProgram
Half-year & Full-year programs

In-School Module-Based (ISMB)

Our Distance STEM programs include:

Half-day or full-day

Options for half- or full-day visits based on your wants or needs.

Available anywhere

Lessons are taught through a digital method directly to your classroom.

Individual kits for students

Each student receives an individual kit containing supplies for the hands-on lesson.

Fits into your schedule

Lessons range from 40–60 minutes to best fit your class schedule.

Real STEM role models

Our educators have degrees in STEM and/or STEM industry experience and will teach the lessons via Zoom or your preferred video conferencing platform.

Standards-aligned

We have over 50 lessons tied to state standards, Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), Science and Engineering Practices (SEPs), and Crosscutting Concepts (CCCs).

Virtual learning options:

SciSci has two virtual model offerings, to meet students where they are at.

Virtual learning for individual students:

  • Great for online-only schools.
  • Individual students log into a virtual learning session. STEM lesson kits are sent to the school in advance to distribute to distance students.
  • A SciSci Scientist Educator joins your school’s meeting link to teach the lesson to the students.
  • Students keep their lesson kits and are encouraged to continue using materials to experiment after class is over.

Virtual learning in the classroom:

  • Great for schools and classrooms outside of SciSci’s in-person service area.
  • SciSci STEM lesson kits are sent to the school for in-classroom use. Kits are individually packed and ready to distribute to all students in the classroom.
  • A Scientist Educator joins your school’s meeting link to project into the classroom using classroom AV equipment or individual student tablets/devices.
  • Teachers keep materials or send them home with students to continue using outside the classroom.

What teachers say

  • I'm able to learn ways to do hands-on activities that relate to standards that I couldn't think of. [My students] always have so many fun activities that go with each lesson perfectly. We love Science from Scientists so much. The kids look forward to it and always want to be a part of the program!

  • They loved taking the owl pellet apart and looking at what the owl might have ate. This went along with the unit we did in class on how the body functions together. It brought it to the next level. It helps me want to bring more hands on learning to the classroom.

  • I appreciated having the scientists model best practices in getting students to engage in a STEM activity and how it was done with graphic organizers. Really grateful that [the SciSci Scientist Educator] was able to lead the lessons in Spanish and provide a rich learning experience for the students.
