Share your expertise and enthusiasm for science! Community Resources for Science connects scientists and engineers to elementary and middle school students and teachers throughout the East Bay, to build scientific literacy and inspire the next generation. We provide comprehensive training, coaching, and support so busy STEM researchers can feel confident as they lead exciting outreach activities. Choose the outreach program that best fits your goals and interests.
The learning my students did in your class is hands down the best learning they have done this year! I liked how you asked students to make observations and ask questions. The parents are very happy. I feel so privileged to be able to have this partnership with BASIS.
Yesterday a teacher compared getting a BASIS lesson to getting Hamilton tickets and let me tell you, I felt like a rock star.
BASIS provides an incredible opportunity for graduate students to get involved in Bay Area STEM. Visiting elementary school classrooms encompasses what I love most about science: the thrill of discovery, designing creative ways to solve problems, and sharing knowledge with others.
Grad students who participate in outreach with CRS tell us they gain real world skills in communicating about science and collaborating with peers while also having fun sharing their talents and passion for science and engineering.
“Seeing the “lightbulb” moments as children experience using science to figure something out sparks joy and reminds me why I love science. And CRS makes it so effortless to fit into our busy schedules. I felt confident leading kids in learning thanks to the CRS training.”
