Big shoutout to National Grid for their steadfast support of Science from Scientists! Since 2017, their generous contributions have enabled schools in Peabody and Revere to participate in a full year of our In-School Module-Based STEM program, reaching over 2,000 students this year alone! Additionally, National Grid participated in a STEM kit-building event during STEM week, resulting in ~400 SciSci kits for their local Boston communities. Thank you for empowering our future innovators and making a lasting impact in our community! 💡🌍

⚾️ Summer at Fenway is ON! Thanks to all who stopped by last night, but if you missed it, join us this Saturday for even more Science at Fenway Park. ✨ Head to the Kid's Concourse for: • Quick & engaging science lessons • Fun games for ALL ages! • FREE prizes to take home Special thanks to Collegium Pharmaceutical, Inc. and the Boston Red Sox for partnering with us to spread the love of #STEM!

We ❤️ STEM education! Science from Scientists and STEMatch are organizations with the goal of teaching and inspiring the next generation to identify and solve real-world problems by improving #STEM literacy, and we're thrilled to take part in their missions. We recently had the chance to connect with children and young adults within our community through a variety of fun and educational activities: ⭐ STEM Day at Fenway - Verve volunteers celebrated a successful day at Fenway expressing the joys of science through a science theater event, showcasing exciting experiments including exploding coke bottles, a bed of nails, and more.  ⭐ Spring 2024 Classroom Visits - Vervians headed back to school and participated in lessons about oil spills and owl pellet dissections.  ⭐ Student Visitation at Verve - Students stepped into our world to understand a day in our shoes. We enjoyed sharing the ins and outs of #biotech and what goes on within our laboratories.

🌟 Huge thank you to the Cargill Foundation! Since 2019, their support for Science from Scientists in Twin Cities area schools has empowered countless students with STEM education, ignited curiosity, and sparked a passion for science. Thank you for being a pillar of progress!

SciSci provides engaging STEM programs to schools and organizations. Learn more about our partnership: 🔗 https://bit.ly/4aCDwfE #Partnership #WeArenVent Science from Scientists

Candy Chromatography Kits - say that 3 times fast. About 3 dozen of us gathered at our Boston Hub to assemble 500 STEM kits in record time for Science from Scientists. We worked together to find efficiencies in the assembly process and avoided eating too many skittles so there were enough left for the kits. Over the summer SciSci give students kits to have fun with science and to see themselves as scientists. Thanks to Sarah Weaver, Madison (Morin) Herrington from SciSci, and my colleagues for the fun afternoon: Stephanie Lee, Rittwika Barman, Christopher Brundage, Jennifer Clack, MBA, McKaila Coulter, Beth Dinneen, William (Bill) Doyle, Kevin Farrell, Sanjay Gowda, Ramadas Kandamuthan, Mamta Karthik, Lorenzo Kettere, Andrea Laffin, Susan Leduc, Charlene Mcnamara, Francisco Mejia, Michelle Miller, Noranyeli Molina Realpe, James Mulhern, Pak Ng, Lisa O'leary, Cindy Ott, Soumyadeep Pan, Jaganathan Pandurangan, Vaidehi P., Richard Pichette, neal pressman, Archana Sarda, Tiffany Slocum, Sunil Y., Yako Yako, Joy Y.
