Science education is a collaborative discipline, a “team sport” with classroom teachers, district specialists, and community organizations banding together to bring great science learning experiences to students. One of the best examples of this team approach is in Oakland, where an amazing team of educators provides support, coaching, and kit replenishment in order to promote science teaching and learning.
“There are many things to love about CRS, their breadth of knowledge and services, their professionalism, their eagerness to advance the cause of science education, but what I love most about CRS is that they make my extremely complex job a little easier.”

The mission of CRS is to empower teachers and STEM professionals serving schools in historically marginalized communities to activate TK-8 students’ curiosity about the world, foster critical thinking, and inspire children to imagine future career pathways. We envision a community of educators, scientists, families and partners working together to build school cultures that equip all children to explore the world around them and build the skills needed to become innovators, problem solvers, environmental stewards, life-long learners and leaders. CRS leads a dynamic network, fostering relationships and collaborations that leverage expertise and resources to transform science teaching and learning toward greater equity, opportunity, and success for all students.
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!
