Spotlight On . . .

Diana Asks the Big Questions

Searching for rare plants and animals with her family is one of Diana Vélez’s favorite activities.  In between tidepooling, bird watching, and exploring new outdoor locations, Diana is working to enhance and improve science teaching in classrooms throughout the Bay Area. 

Diana started her career as a teacher, but soon decided that to teach science, she should be more involved in her own knowledge and discovery of the natural world and scientific wonders.  As Diana studied science, she transitioned from teaching to coaching other teachers in their science lessons.  She directed and developed the Ocean Club, which teaches K-5 students about the ocean and gives them hands-on experience with water through restoration projects in their local water sheds. 

Science is blooming in the Bay Area!

Help us keep the momentum going

In the 2010-11 school year CRS helped over 15,000 students & 615 of teachers discover the joy of learning through science.

Science has been pushed out of too many classrooms due to testing & budget cuts. Teachers & schools need help to find the science resources that are available in the Bay Area. Jobs of the future will require strong foundations in science & technology. Scientists working in their fields today say their own interest in science began with early learning experiences before age 12.

Get involved & donate to CRS today to give the gift of science.
