Have you been looking for a way to make a big difference in a small amount of time? Consider volunteering with Science is Elementary (SiE).

SiE brings engaging science lessons to under-served classrooms once a month. Volunteers work with small groups of students to go through fun, hands-on experiments. You'll learn, you'll experience joy, and you'll make a difference in the lives of some amazing students.

We are looking for adults with a background in science or engineering who are interested in volunteering just two hours a month. Science is Elementary provides all lesson plans, materials, and training.

"It is very fulfilling that with very little I could be making a real impact in their lives." - Javier

"If I can inspire a few children to be excited about science, even if just for a day, that's awesome." - Carmen

"I enjoy doing the experiments as much as the kids do!" - Subash

About Science is Elementary

Location:

2483 Old Middlefield Way, Suite 170, Mountain View, CA 94043, US

Mission Statement

We provide inspiring, innovative, high-quality science experiences to the preschool and elementary school children who need them most.

Description

Leveraging children's inherent curiosity through hands-on experiments, in small groups, guided by scientist and engineer volunteers

Science education must be relevant, exciting, and experiential. We leverage the natural curiosity and creativity of elementary school-aged children.

Volunteer groups of engineers and scientists (1 adult per 8 children) bring "cool" hands-on experiments to the classroom and allow children to explore on their own while asking directed questions to guide their thought processes and investigations. Experiments draw on children's everyday experiences to show them that science is all around them and is fun.
