Science Bus

Engage 3rd and 4th graders with hands-on science demos and experiments at East Palo Alto Charter School

Science Bus cover

Stanford Science Bus is an outreach program led by graduate students from across departments. We operate an after-school program to inspire enthusiasm about science and provide mentorship from scientists. Through our partnership with East Palo Alto Charter School (EPACS), we teach hands-on science to grades 2-5 to encourage and inspire passion for engaging in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics).

Our goals are: 

  • To provide enrichment opportunities to communities considered to be under-represented in STEM fields
  • To increase science exposure
  • To allow kids to explore their passion for science
  • To lower the perceived barrier of entry to STEM fields
