Building a foundation for scientific literacy in the next generation...since 1996.
Reed College's Science Outreach program creates partnerships between Reed College and local public schools to provide public school students with engaging, hands-on, inquiry-based science experiences, every week! Since 2018, the Science Outreach program has grown to include Computer Science & Math Outreach programs as well.
Our programs rely on the transformative power of community-based learning to engage Reed undergraduates with students and teachers in the Portland community.
Along the way, public school students gain exposure to rigorous, NGSS-aligned inquiry lessons and the confidence to dive into STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, math) fields head-first.
Likewise, Reed undergraduates represent the College by sharing time and resources with the greater Portland area as well as they gain experience as teacher leaders through a significant amount of in-classroom teaching time.
