What it does

Creating science pipelines for diverse and marginalized communities through life changing hands-on stem experiences.

The abe program is a 4-week intensive training that provides middle and biotechnology concepts to your classroom, hands-on, instructional biotechnology curriculum, and personalized mentoring so that teachers can prepare students for stem careers which bolster the country's stem-related economies. Teachers will be provided with an "abe classroom kit" filled with lab-grade equipment and supplies, as well as ongoing technical support from the citizen science lab. All training, materials, and support are provided at no charge.
Seaperch is an innovative underwater robotics program that equips students with the resources they need to build an underwater remotely operated vehicle (rov) in an in-school or out-of-school setting. Students build the rov from a kit comprised of low-cost, easily accessible parts, following a curriculum that teaches basic engineering and science concepts with a marine engineering theme.the seaperch program provides students with the opportunity to learn about robotics, engineering, science, and mathematics (stem) while building an underwater rov as part of a science and engineering technology curriculum. Throughout the project, students will learn engineering concepts, problem-solving, teamwork, and technical applications.
Summer camps - we offer fun, hands-on camps for grades 4 through 12. With a full range of science and engineering adventures, including robotics, outer space, zoology, microbiology, dna, and drones. There's sure to be something that excites and inspires the budding scientist in your home.
