Science From Scientists Inc

MISSION - SCIENCE FROM SCIENTISTS' MISSION IS TO TEACH AND INSPIRE THE NEXT GENERATION TO IDENTIFY AND SOLVE REAL-WORLD PROBLEMS BY IMPROVING STEM LITERACY.

IN SCHOOL MODULE BASED STEM ENRICHMENT PROGRAMSCIENCE FROM SCIENTISTS' FLAGSHIP PROGRAM IS THE IN-SCHOOL MODULE-BASED (ISMB) SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING AND MATH (STEM) ENRICHMENT PROGRAM. IN THIS PROGRAM, SFS PARTNERS WITH ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOLS THAT SERVE STUDENTS IN OUR TARGET POPULATION: GRADES 3-8. SFS SENDS THE SAME TWO REAL, CHARISMATIC SCIENTISTS INTO EACH OF THESE PARTNER SCHOOLS TO SEE THE SAME GROUP OF STUDENTS EVERY OTHER WEEK THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE SCHOOL YEAR. DURING EACH OF THESE VISITS, SFS INSTRUCTORS COORDINATE WITH CLASSROOM TEACHERS TO SELECT ONE OF OUR 90+ENGAGING HANDS-ON LESSONS IN STEM (TOPICS INCLUDE CHEMISTRY, PHYSICS, BIOLOGY, COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING DESIGN, ETC.) TO PRESENT THAT UPON KEY CONCEPTS AND LAB TECHNIQUES. ACCESS HOSTS WORKSHOPS FOR TEAMS OF MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS TO LEARN AND PRACTICE THE LAB SEQUENCES OF THEIR CHOICE, PROVIDES ACCESS TO THE MATERIALS, EQUIPMENT, AND REAGENTS, AND SUPPORTS TEACHERS IN THE CLASSROOM WHEN THEY GO TO IMPLEMENT THE LABS FOR THE FIRST TIME. TO HIGHLIGHT THE REAL-WORLD APPLICATION OF THESE LAB SEQUENCES, COLLEGE AND CAREER EXPERIENCES FOR STUDENTS ARE COORDINATED BY THE ACCESS ADMINISTRATION TEAM (TWO STAFF EACH FROM SFS AND MASSBIOED). THESE EXPERIENCES INCLUDE IN-SCHOOL PRESENTATIONS FROM SCIENCE PROFESSIONALS OR FIELD TRIPS TO RELEVANT COMPANIES OR COLLEGE CAMPUSES.

GROWING THE FUTUREIN COLLABORATION WITH MURATA ELECTRONICS, SCIENCE FROM SCIENTISTS (SFS) PRESENTS "GROWING THE FUTURE", A NEW INTERACTIVE, LIVE SCIENCE DEMONSTRATION AT THE 2021 TASTE OF EPCOT INTERNATIONAL FLOWER AND GARDEN FESTIVAL. THE FUN AND FASCINATING EXPERIENCE EXPLORES PLANS, SOIL, AND CUTTING-EDGE MURATA TECHNOLOGY THAT'S CHANGING THE WAY WE SEED THE FUTURE.

SCIENTIST-TEACHER PARTNERSHIPTHE SCIENTIST-TEACHER PARTNERSHIP (STP) PROGRAM'S MISSION IS TO BUILD AND SUSTAIN TEACHER CONFIDENCE BY INTEGRATING SFS' FIELD-TESTED STEM ACTIVITIES INTO THE CLASSROOM WITH THE SUPPORT OF SCIENTISTS, EMPOWERING TEACHERS TO DESIGN STUDENT-CENTERED EXPLORATIONS AS PART OFTHEIR CURRICULAM. THIS PROGRAM OCCURS IN THREE PHASES. THE FIRST PHASE OF THE STP PROGRAM COMBINES CLASSROOM VISITS AND WORKSHOP TRAININGS TO PREPARE TEACHERS TO LEAD HANDS-ON STEM LESSONS WITH THE SUPPORT OF A SCIENTIST INSTRUCTOR. PHASE TWO OF THE PROGRAM COMBINES CLASSROOM SUPPORT AND COMMON PLANNING TIME BETWEEN ONE SCIENTIST INSTRUCTOR AND THE CLASSROOM TEACHER. PHASE THREE EXTENDS LESSON PLANNING SUPPORT FOR TEACHERS. PARTICIPANTS WILL BE PROVIDED WITH READILY IMPLEMENTABLE ACTIVITIES, A SUITE OF ADAPTABLE TEACHING STRATEGIES, AND THE SUPPORT OF THE SCIENCE FROM SCIENTISTS INSTRUCTIONAL TEAM.

VACATION PROGRAMS:WEEK-LONG ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS OFFERED DURING THE SUMMER AND OTHER SCHOOL VACATIONS WITH A VARIETY OF THEMES AND TOPICS. PROGRAMS ARE LED BY SFS STAFF FROM THE IN SCHOOL MODULE BASED STEM ENRICHMENT ACADEMIC YEAR PROGRAM AND UTILIZE THE SAME LESSONS AND KITS. PROGRAMS ARE HOSTED OFFSITE AT COLLEGE, UNIVERSITY, AND COMPANY CAMPUSES.COMMUNITY DEMONSTRATIONS & WORKSHOPS:SCIENCE FROM SCIENTISTS PARTICIPATES IN A VARIETY OF OUTREACH EVENTS IN SCHOOLS, LOCAL YOUTH CLUBS, AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS THROUGHOUT THE SCIENCE FROM SCIENTISTS, INC. COMMUNITY. THESE INCLUDE TABLING EVENTS (ACTIVITY BOOTHS) AND MODULE PRESENTATIONS (STAND-ALONE VERSIONS OF OUR LESSON MODULES). THESE PROGRAMS ALLOW LOTS OF STUDENTS, PARENTS, AND OTHER COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO EXPERIENCE MODIFIED OR SCALED-DOWN VERSIONS OF OUR HANDS-ON ACTIVITIES AND MEET OUR STAFF.
