About
We aim to provide students—from kindergarten through graduate school—and adults engaging information about our science.
Aligned to the academic mission of the University of Pennsylvania, we believe in the importance of providing knowledge and resources to those in the university’s own backyard. Our programs teach people to think like scientists regardless of prior education or experience.
