Welcome to The Science Squad.
We're committed to science as a way of thinking, not simply as a major or career. Our programs are committed to this cause, and to make sure we can reach everyone, every program we run is free of cost. Experiment with us. Observe with us. Analyze with us. Let's make the world a better place.

Outreach ProgramsWe reach out to educators and students at the grassroots level. By visiting schools and connecting with teachers and principals, we hope to individually affect change. Some of our current projects include hosting forum for science educators and engaging local high school students in volunteer work. We seek collaboration with both educators and students, and welcome any suggestions.

This new scientific help and knowledge [The Science Squad] provides has given me and the community as a whole the opportunity to learn and grow.
