About Us

Our Mission

Science Bus aims to inspire young students, especially from underrepresented groups, to pursue higher education and careers in the sciences. We write and test our own hands on science lessons, then implement the lessons each week in local elementary schools. Through our passion for science and the fun integrative experiments, we hope to make science exciting and inspiring to young students.

We also seek to provide students at the Claremont Colleges an opportunity to give back to the community and gain teaching experience. Student volunteers write all of the curriculum, manage funds and lesson supplies, coordinate transportation to schools, and of course, actually teach! Science Bus hopes to give students at the Claremont Colleges a chance to inspire others and share their passion for science.

Normally, our program is not open to the public. However, for Spring 2021, our lessons will be virtual and open to all students! Click here to learn more: Virtual Lessons.

Science Day

Science day is an annual event where students from the area are invited to participate in a day of experiments, demonstrations, and fun! Parents and teachers are also welcome to attend. We hope to inspire students' interest in science through a variety of collaborative activities and exciting demonstrations.
