Chapters

Local programming, national standards.

The Chapter Model

Science education, built locally

The model is based such that each individual chapter can function as its own, and you can shape your region's structure however you see fit. Our leadership team will provide all resources (i.e. lecture materials), and we encourage you to adjust the materials so that they best accommodate your chapter! We provide guidance to recruit volunteers and market the science camp for students that will take place in August, virtually. Onboarding will begin with meeting with our leaders.
