Science from Scientists is a Boston-based non-profit that strives to improve science and technology awareness in local middle school and late elementary students; our materials target 4th–8th grade students.

Science from Scientists typically works with more than two dozen schools, roughly 2000 students annually, to instruct children with our STEM curriculum.

Thanks to generous grants and donations our organization receives from our donors, we are able to offer free hands-on curriculum assistance to many schools, clubs and other organizations, primarily in Greater Boston. Science from Scientists also offers some for-fee services, which are described more fully alongside our no-cost offerings on the programs page.

You might also find our brochure or 2012 annual report useful when sharing information about us.
