About Science Coach

Science Coach helps teachers and students engage in authentic, student-driven science research. We support teachers as they guide 6th-12th grade students through the process of asking researchable questions, designing investigations, collecting and interpreting data, and communicating findings at competitions. Our work strengthens student confidence, teacher capacity, and access to meaningful STEM learning experiences.

Science Coach is rapidly growing and is working to establish itself as a national leader in research teacher development. We are seeking a skilled communications and marketing professional who can help tell that story clearly, consistently, and compellingly.
