Events

Science Coach holds several events throughout the year, which provide opportunities for donors, companies, scientists, as well as the general public to learn more about our mission and to support our teachers and students.

Resource Roundup

This is the single event we host each year to raise funds to support our teachers and equip their classrooms with the necessary science supplies and materials, ensuring students are able to conduct real, original research projects. Now more than ever, it’s critical that we support and make possible exploration and invention through science research. And it’s vital that we champion and celebrate our teachers and students for the incredible research projects they commit to and complete. That’s what this event is all about. Resource Roundup merges mission with rip-roarin’ fun; attendees will enjoy a delicious BBQ lunch, play chicken bingo, and learn about student research plans and classroom supply needs. All proceeds from this event go directly to teachers and students. This year’s Resource Roundup will take place on Saturday, October 11, from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Goldfarb School of Nursing at Barnes-Jewish College in St. Louis. Tickets are $50 per person OR $20 per person with $30 donation of unused research supplies/materials.
