BASIS Teams

Our BASIS Teams have been bringing the joy of hands-on science to East Bay classrooms! Check out photos and info of our BASIS Teams!

Our amazing BASIS volunteers form teams to teach their hands-on lessons throughout the Bay Area. Meet our current BASIS teams below and explore the lessons they teach! Follow the links for lesson plans and spotlights that highlight our individual volunteers. If you are interested in joining any of our teams, then contact the BASIS Program Manager and we can help you make that connection!
