We focus on what drives sustained science engagement with students

Research and practice show that students persist in science when these conditions are strengthened.

Science Identity

We feature a diversity of scientists sharing their own stories, which allows students to relate to and see themselves as science people and recognize that scientists are diverse, relatable, and human.

See an example

Nature of Science

Students understand how science really works in the real world, not just as facts in textbooks, but as a human process of inquiry and discovery.

See the NOS framework

Conceptual Understanding

We explore science topics with nuance and accuracy, where students not only learn facts but also understand how concepts connect and relate to each other.
