Classroom/Teacher Funding

Urgent Funding Need for Science Research Classrooms 

The 2025-2026 school year represents the biggest cohort Science Coach has ever had – with 48 teachers and 550+ students!

At the same time, our funding gap is the biggest we’ve ever faced – with 20+ classrooms still unfunded, leaving research programs in limbo. Urgent action is needed to raise the dollars to fund our teachers and equip their classrooms with the necessary science supplies and materials, ensuring that students can conduct real, original research projects. 

Now more than ever, it’s critical that we support and make possible exploration and invention through science research. We are fortunate to have teachers who are trained and excited to help students experience the learning that comes with science. We just need to come up with the funding to enable them to do so.
