    Out-of-School STEAM Programming Expansion for Under-Resourced L.A. Elementary Students

    To circumnavigate LAUSD budget deficits post-pandemic, PS Science strategically pivoted to provide more targeted STEAM enrichment activities outside of normal school hours to inspire the next generation of science innovators starting in elementary school. Since access to extended learning opportunities in L.A. is a significant barrier for under-resourced students, we have expanded partnerships with local community centers, libraries, and parks to provide 11,000 elementary students with high-quality science education opportunities year-round.

    Advancing Equity in Elementary STEAM Learning

    PS Science will bring hands-on, high-quality STEAM education to 6,000+ under-resourced students at 18 Title 1 elementary schools throughout L.A. County. Without PS Science, the students we serve would have little to no STEAM learning due to the chronic deficit of meaningful elementary school science education in public schools. Our weekly in-school science education and after-school science & code clubs, summer camps, and enrichment classes gives youth a strong STEAM foundation that creates cradle to career pathways to future STEAM professions.
