Our Mission

The mission of Science Delivered is to promote a love of science and learning.
We focus on promoting elementary science and providing equal access to education.

About Our Work

Science Delivered’s current main project is developing and implementing the science and literacy program Learning Squared alongside our partner EIS. Our work is informed by a decade of experience developing and implementing in-class programming as well as after-school and summer enrichment.

Over time, as the need for more science support in schools became clear, our programming has evolved to be more academically rigorous and integrated with literacy. We follow best practices and favor an explicit, structured approach, as supported by research and experience.

Our sister site STEMTradingCards.org houses our STEM Trading Card project alongside free resources for teachers.

What We Do

Support students and schools
We aim to bring science to life for our students, especially those with limited enrichment opportunities. We combine our outreach and scientific expertise to create memorable educational experiences.

We change ideas about who can be a scientist
Representation matters. Through our presenters, volunteers, and STEM Trading Cards (STEMTradingCards.org), we aim to show the diverse group of people who contribute to STEM fields.

We provide science resources for elementary teachers.
High quality science resources for grades K-5+ can be found at STEMTradingCards.org. Science videos designed for the classroom can be found at our YouTube channel.
