We believe that every child should have the chance to experience the thrill of discovery. And who better to take them on that journey than scientists actively engaged in research who have a passion for investing in #GenerationNext?

By the end of our workshops, our students are excited to record the results of their experiments. Now they know that science is not elitist, it’s not only for the “bright kids.” Science is simply asking questions about our world & seeking answers. And now that they have some of those answers, they see themselves differently.

With every experiment, we place a mystery in these students’ hands. What is this powder? How do we find out what could be living in our water? Based on this DNA pattern, who committed the crime? It seems like fun and games (and it is), but we are also creatively building their analytical skills.

We ask teachers to be a part of STEPS because Henry Adams was right: “A teacher affects eternity. He can never tell where his influence stops.” We want to involve those who shape our children’s future and maybe give them fresh ideas that they can take back to the hundreds of students they serve. The teachers who come give the workshops high praise and want us to keep the initiative going. Thank you teachers!

STEPS is powered by volunteers and donors: Lecturers. Graduate Students. Researchers. Ordinary people. Driven by a desire to give back and a deep-seated belief that we mustuse our skills to empower those who  come after us, and to make a difference to mankind!
