Our mission is to support the work of science educators throughout South Central Washington to make access to science education equitable for all students.
"Equity in science
education requires that all students are provided with equitable opportunities to learn science and become engaged in science and engineering practices;
with access to quality
space, equipment, and teachers to support
and motivate that learning and engagement; and adequate time spent on science. In addition, the issue of connecting to students’ interests and experiences is
particularly important for broadening participation in science."
