About the Project

This project aims to close the gap in early science education by having high school students collaborate with teachers to design hands-on science lessons aligned with NGSS standards. These lessons will be packaged into reusable “lesson tubs,” each containing physical demonstrations, background information, and adaptable activities that can be checked out and delivered to elementary classrooms across the district. The project provides leadership and mentoring opportunities for high school students and supports younger students, especially in underserved communities, to gain access to engaging, high-quality STEM experiences. The initiative fosters community involvement by showcasing student-created materials at public events and promoting connections between schools, families, and local organizations.
