About us
Science from Scientists’ mission is to teach and inspire the next generation to identify and solve real-world problems by improving Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) literacy. Our vision is to inspire students, ignite interest, and improve STEM competency with the goal of filling the workforce pipeline with talented, competent individuals. Using charismatic, real scientists as instructors, SfS complements during school curricula every other week throughout the academic year with hands-on lessons informed by MCAS and other curriculum frameworks. Where do we teach? We serve schools in the Greater Boston and Great Worcester areas in Massachusetts, as well as the San Francisco Bay area in California and the Twin Cities area in Minnesota. What do we teach? Our real, charismatic scientist instructors have developed a library of 90 hands-on, frameworks-based STEM modules on anatomy, astronomy, biochemistry, biology, botany, cartography, chemistry, ecology, electrical engineering, forensic science, geology, materials engineering, meteorology, nutrition, physics, and statistics. Custom STEM programs tailored to your school or group: one-day, short-term, or year-long programs available.

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.
