SHARED SCIENCE

Shared Science was formed in the Spring of 2008 for the educational and charitable purpose of creating and delivering physical science and engineering learning opportunities to school-aged children (K-12), within Southern California, and initially within the City of Long Beach. As a nonprofit, we bring together funding and equipment resources, identify gifted engineers and instructors, tailor the best STEM ed curriculum available, and then bundle it all together to benefit and captivate the imaginations of young students. Our founders are parents. They volunteer in their children’s classrooms, participate in their PTAs, contribute to their school site planning, and support numerous enrichment and fundraising activities. They believe our children deserve to experience more of the critical thinking, science, and mathematics stepping stones that are essential to future American contributions in science, technology, and engineering. Shared Science intervenes on a local level. Our objective is to reach out to as many students as possible within our community, providing the possibility and opportunity of a launching pad. From there they’ll be able to choose for themselves whether science, engineering, and mathematics will become lifelong pursuits.
