Stanford Science Bus is an outreach program led by graduate students from across departments. We operate an after-school program to inspire enthusiasm about science and provide mentorship from scientists. Through our partnership with East Palo Alto Charter School (EPACS), we teach hands-on science to grades 2-5 to encourage and inspire passion for engaging in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics).

Our goals are: 

• To provide enrichment opportunities to communities considered to be under-represented in STEM fields

• To increase science exposure.

• To allow kids to explore their passion for science.

• To lower the perceived barrier of entry to STEM fields.

1. After School at EPACS: Six times a quarter, Science Bus holds sessions with EPACS students on Thursdays from 4:00 to 5:00 PM. For these sessions, a few volunteers drive to EPACS from Stanford and conduct some hands-on experiments to get the students excited about science.
