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.

Our Vision

 Our vision is a future in which students have equal access to quality education.
   We additionally envision a future with a society excited by science and
    poised to meet great challenges, like clean energy production and climate change.

What We Do

We provide engaging and accessible science activities
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 promote critical thinking and problem solving
Critical thinking is the most basic, yet also the most essential, aspect of science.  Yet this skill does not always come naturally! We encourage our students to critically engage and explore the world around them.

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 support near-peer leadership
Our high school CAPTS program teaches leadership and communication skills that students use to teach science and mentor within their own communities. We provide career skills while promoting students as leaders.
