LIKE CHILDREN EVERYWHERE, THEY LEARN MOST EFFECTIVELY WHEN THEY ARE CHALLENGED AND HAVING FUN. WE ARE A PARTNERSHIP OF STUDENTS, PARENTS, SCIENTISTS, ENGINEERS AND EDUCATORS WHO HAVE COME TOGETHER TO HELP FOSTER THIS INTEREST IN SCIENCE. WE BELIEVE CHILDREN ARE MOTIVATED TO LEARN WHEN THEIR IDEAS ARE CULTIVATED THROUGH THE FUN OF DESIGNING AND DEVELOPING EXPERIMENTS. SCHMAHL SCIENCE WORKSHOPS PUT THE "SIZZLE" BACK INTO SCIENCE. 0 0 202464 180425 OUTREACH DESCRIPTIONSSW PROVIDES OUR OUTREACH HANDS-ON WORKSHOPS TO SCHOOLS THAT DO NOT HAVE THE RESOURCES TO INCLUDE SCIENCE AS A REGULAR PART OF THEIR INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAM. SSW HAS OVER 750 PRE-KINDERGARTEN THROUGH TWELFTH GRADE HANDS-ON SCIENCE / ENGINEERING WORKSHOPS, EACH DIRECTLY LINKED TO NGSS. OUR PROGRAMS INSPIRE & EMPOWER YOUTH TO BECOME YOUNG SCIENTISTS, PURSUING & DEVELOPING THEIR INTEREST IN STEM FIELDS THROUGH HANDS-ON EXPERIENCES THAT BECOME OPPORTUNITIES FOR CAREER ADVANCEMENT. IN 31 YEARS, HUNDREDS OF YOUNG SCIENTISTS WORKING WITH SSW HAVE RECEIVED MANY AWARDS. STUDENTS HAVE GONE ON TO PURSUE COLLEGE MAJORS IN STEM FIELDS. SSW INSTRUCTORS ARE SCIENTISTS & ENGINEERS. AS SCIENTISTS & ENGINEERS, THEY MODEL PASSION FOR SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY TO SPARK OR FAN THE FLAMES OF A GENUINE INTEREST IN STEM FIELDS. IN ADDITION, WE DONATED SUPPLIES AND EQUIPMENT TO NONPROFITS, INCLUDING GILROY HIGH SCHOOL AND GOODWILL TO SUPPORT STUDENTS. 18699 5032 OUR SEMINAR PROGRAM EMPHASIZES BOTH THE NATURE AND THE PROCESS OF SCIENCE. THESE ARE TWO DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF SCIENCE. THE NATURE OF SCIENCE DEALS WITH ISSUES IN THE PHILOSOPHY, SOCIOLOGY, AND HISTORY OF SCIENCE. IT INCLUDES CONCERNS, SUCH AS THE NATURE OR ATTRIBUTES OF SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE ITSELF - E.G., THAT SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE IS DURABLE, BUT IS ALWAYS INHERENTLY SUBJECT TO CHANGE. THE PROCESS OF SCIENCE ADDRESSES WHAT SCIENTISTS DO IN ORDER TO DEVELOP THAT KNOWLEDGE. THE OBJECTIVE OF THE SEMINAR RESEARCH PROGRAM IS TO PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING CONCEPTS TO EQUIP STUDENTS WITH FUNDAMENTAL KNOWLEDGE THAT STUDENTS NEED TO SUCCEED. OUR SEMINAR RESEARCH PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH AN OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD ON AN INTEREST IN RESEARCH / ENGINEERING AND DEVELOP SKILLS, KNOWLEDGE AND ANALYTICS CRITICAL TO SUCCESS. EACH STUDENT PURSUES A TOPIC (OR TOPICS) OF HIS / HER OWN INTEREST IN A REAL LAB SITUATION, PAIRED WITH A SCIENTIST / ENGINEER MENTOR WHO HAS EXPERIENCE IN THE CHOSEN RESEARCH FIELD. THE SEMINAR INCLUDES TRAINING IN LAB SAFETY, LITERATURE RESEARCH, LAB NOTEBOOK DOCUMENTATION, AND LABORATORY TECHNIQUES AND DATA ANALYSIS. THE OBJECTIVE OF THE SEMINAR RESEARCH PROGRAM IS TO PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING BY LEARNING THE EIGHT ESSENTIAL PRACTICES OF SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING. SEMINAR PARTICIPANTS WILL ALSO BENEFIT FROM CONTEXTUAL AND HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SPECIFIC SCIENTIFIC CONCEPTS AND THE FORWARD LOOKING RELEVANCE TO ONGOING EXPLORATION AND RESEARCH. OUR PROGRAM EXTENDS WELL BEYOND THAT TOPIC TO ADDRESS A SET OF CAPABILITIES AND EXPERIENCES THAT WILL BE VALUABLE IN ALL MANNER OF FUTURE ENDEAVORS AND RESPONSIBILITIES. SSW HAS ALSO DONATED SUPPLIES AND EQUIPMENT TO NONPROFITS, INCLUDING GILROY HIGH SCHOOL AND GOODWILL TO SUPPORT STUDENTS. 13882 15362 INDEPENDENT RESEARCH PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONOUR INDIVIDUAL RESEARCH PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE TALENTED MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS WITH THE MENTORS, LABORATORY SPACE AND EQUIPMENT NECESSARY TO DESIGN, DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT ADVANCED RESEARCH PROJECTS. STUDENTS LEARN HOW TO DESIGN A PROJECT BUDGET, TIMELINE, WORKFLOW/SCHEDULE PLAN, AND SAFETY PLAN IN ADDITION TO THE LITERATURE RESEARCH, PROJECT DESIGN, IMPLEMENTATION, AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS. WE DONATED SUPPLIES AND EQUIPMENT TO NONPROFITS, INCLUDING GILROY HIGH SCHOOL AND GOODWILL TO SUPPORT STUDENTS. 235045 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 3 0 12 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 5 4 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 CA X THE ORGANIZATION 4082817595 1650 SENTER ROAD SAN JOSE CA 95112 KEN SCHMAHL CHAIRPERSON 2.00 X X 0 0 0 LUC MOYEN VICE CHAIR AND TREASURER 2.00 X X 0 0 0 STUART ROSENBERG SECRETARY 2.00 X X 0 0 0 MICHELLE NOVOTNY BOARD 2.00 X 0 0 0 JANE HUYHN BOARD 2.00 X 0 0 0 BELINDA E LOWE SCHMAHL EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 18201 0 0 ELLEN HILBRICH COO 40.00 X 35101 0 0 53302 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 124663 52482 124663 OUTREACH 611710 180425 180425 RESEARCH (IRP) 611710 15362 15362 RESEARCH (SEMINAR) 611710 4560 4560 ZOOM INDIV INVESTIGATI 611710 472 472 200819 MISCELLANEOUS INCOME 611710 233 233 233 325715 201052 0 0 53482 40882 12600 129859 129859 6743 1647 5096 14831 14223 608 6635 6635 2030 2030 904 239 665 5998 2417 3581 18045 18045 171 171 2369 16 2353 6818 6818 13815 5343 8472 PROGRAM EXPENSES 33669 33669 295369 235045 47059 13265 67934 72730 11629 8272 410231 432334 17953 17070 265816 230332 19120 35484 526867 565890 89396 92229 11145 19110 13008 10887 113549 122226 X 413318 443664 413318 443664 526867 565890 30346 0 X 0 0 0 X 257739 191997 101216 88897 124663 764512 295075 108932 143737 240902 200819 989465 552814 300929 244953 329799 325482 1753977 6600 1662 18898 8853 13632 49645 164235 16045 67053 141592 137122 526047 170835 17707 85951 150445 150754 575692 1178285 317 15 42 72 233 679 553131 300944 244995 329871 325715 1754656 0.67150 0.67530 0.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 265816 230332 35484 35484 X SCIENCE LAB EQUIPMENT 144 47549 0 0 0 FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 2 BELINDA E LOWE SCHMAHL AND KEN SCHMAHL ARE MARRIED FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B A COPY OF THE COMPLETED 990 WAS PROVIDED TO THE BOARD PRIOR TO FILING.
