NYSCI travels offsite to make STEM come alive in your location. All programs are are designed to be interactive experiences that nurture curiosity and foster STEM concepts and skills. (This year our offerings are limited.)
Enrich your classroom and after-school programming by incorporating hands-on science activities led by NYSCI instructors. Each outreach session is designed to provide an interactive age-appropriate science experience that correlates to the New York City Science Scope and Sequence, New York City, New York State, and national standards. All materials are provided.
