Celebrating Science - A Family Science Project



  Mission


The Family Science Project at the Institute for Systems Biology was created with the mission to empower families to learn science together and to build community support for inquiry-based science education reform. The goals were to:

Engage those communities that are traditionally underrepresented in science careers.
Build network support and leadership for quality science education and literacy within Seattle schools and local communities.
Engage families in students’ learning.
Reduce barriers for students and families to fully participate in quality formal and informal science education.

These goals reflect the nation’s vision for targeting and developing a citizenship ready for the challenges of the 21st century.
