Springtime is when science learning shifts into high gear. Here’s a peek at the schedule for a typical springtime week at CRS: nearly 150 inspiring science and engineering role models engaging more than 1,500 young learners in explorations about plants, circuits, states of matter, dinosaurs, energy, vision, climate change, human brains and respiratory systems, and so much more. Thank you […]
Sometimes teachers need to experience a field trip without students in tow in order to fully understand the opportunities that each unique museum, science center, park interpretive center or other venue provides. And sometimes they just relish the opportunity to network, explore, and be celebrated. Thank you so much for thinking of and making happen an event that promotes networking […]
Something that on the surface may appear like controlled chaos, while deeper down is giving every kid a chance to be taken seriously as they endeavor to uncover new knowledge about something that interests them – from candy to plants, from sports equipment performance to eye-popping chemical reactions and much, much more. The “Be a Scientist” 7th grade mentoring program […]
Wide-eyed wonder and the thrill of discovery are frequent experiences in the classrooms of 90 elementary teachers in Oakland, Berkeley, Richmond, Fremont, and West Contra Costa who earned recognition from Community Resources for Science this Spring for excellence in elementary science teaching. Through the CRS Science Super Star program, these teachers documented how their students are making meaning of their […]

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!
