Our Purpose & Approach
Early science education is crucial for children's academic success, yet is too often missing from California schools. CRS empowers teachers and scientists to bring science and engineering learning to life for children. Children build understanding of their world through exploration, while discovering their own talents and interests. We all benefit from a more scientifically literate citizenry and a diverse, creative STEM workforce.Our goal is simple: help teachers give students more opportunities to "do science" - to ask questions, test ideas, get their hands on real science activities.
We need to inspire the next generation of thinkers, makers, problem solvers, and leaders!
