Our mission is to ignite scientific curiosity in children so that they question intelligently; learn through discovery; connect scientific knowledge to their world; are excited about science, technology, engineering and math; and have their interest in careers in those fields piqued. As a charity, we rely upon corporate, community and individual donors, as well as school board partners for support to develop new programs, improve our existing programs, reach new communities, provide complimentary workshops to under-resourced schools, and subsidize the cost of all classroom workshops.
Scientists in School is a registered Canadian charity: 867139537RR0001.
