The world we live in is an incredibly complex and fascinating place. Filled with an amazing variety of life-forms, majestic landscapes, and home to the numerous facets of science such as biology, chemistry and physics, it should be a goal for all to discover and learn about the forces and principles encased within our planet. The Science Discovery Initiative strives to spread this belief by bringing professional scientists into the classroom to work with students in hands-on activities to help spark interest in the science field.
The Science Discovery Initiative works with a number of industry leaders and businesses in the science fields, teaming together to apply their expertise to a variety of different workshops aimed at children and teenagers. These workshops, ranging from biology to chemistry to physics, are designed to mix real-world science with activities that children will enjoy to encourage an increased interest in the vast array of science fields. These workshops are brought into schools as an in-school and after-school activities to make them the most accessible to the students in which they are aimed at.
The Science Discovery Initiative attempts to spark an interest in the sciences early on, the audience that this organization targets consists mainly of elementary and middle school students. The companies targeted for involvement within the program are professional science industry leaders that want to help the younger generation of American students become interested in science.
Alongside working with science based companies and foundations to run school based workshops and activities, The Science Discovery Initiative also works with these companies to raise money and donations to purchase new and current science equipment. This equipment is then given out to schools that wouldn’t be able to afford it, helping the science programs in these schools remain up-to-date.
