About CRS

Getting kids excited about science is easy! CRS helps teachers build on that enthusiasm.

Most students are actually interested in science.  They just need to be given the opportunity to learn, develop, and show their interest."
--Graduate Student Volunteer

Children have a natural curiosity and a craving to learn.  CRS works to nurture that learning by connecting classroom teachers with scientists, museums, enrichment providers, and professional development programs in order to bring more science learning experiences to students.  CRS also helps individuals and organizations involved in science education to work together and become stronger partners for teachers and schools.

One size doesn’t fit all when it comes to science support.  An experienced Kindergarten teacher may seek different kinds of resources and information than a brand new 4th grade teacher. 

 

That’s why CRS has developed a unique request-based system to provide individual support and customized responses to teachers, in addition to the comprehensive resource information we send out to all teachers on a regular basis.

There is nothing like a look of true wonder, curiosity, or discovery on the face of a 10-year-old kid." --Miriam, Graduate Student Volunteer

Our goal is simple: help teachers give elementary and middle school students more opportunities to “do science” – to ask questions, test ideas, get their hands on real science activities.  Together, we need to inspire and prepare the next generation of thinkers, makers, problem solvers, and leaders!
