Eleven years ago, two University students recognized a lack of core STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) within Elementary Schools in the heart of New York. Together, they founded START (Students, Teachers, and Researchers Teach) Science.
Today, START Science has expanded worldwide, partnering globally with University Students in Canada, the United States, and Africa to bring hands-on STEM learning to elementary students in low-resourced communities.

About Us

The value that STEM Education can have on a young learner reaches far beyond the classroom.
Personalized
Each lesson is taught by a University student specializing in the topic. For example, a coding lesson is taught by a computer science student.


Hands-On
As students ourselves, we understand the importance of hands-on learning. Our students build rollercoasters, test circuits, create rockets and much more!
Global
We work with the teaching staff and board of education in each country to integrate our programming.
