We provided hundreds of teachers with professional learning, including research experiences with STEM professionals. CRS provides support for teachers in over 140 elementary and middle schools in the East Bay, impacting learning for 55,000 children. Professional development workshops, often in collaboration with science centers and environmental education partners, explored teaching pedagogy, standards, and content across all science disciplines as well as engineering. Our focus is on serving the needs of schools and districts with majority low-income, immigrant, and under-represented communities. Through our Champions of Discovery challenge CRS highlights best practices in STEM education, motivates and recognizes success for teachers implementing high-quality science learning for their students. Teachers call CRS 'the best friend a teacher can have and indicate that CRS support, training, and programs strengthen teacher confidence, skill, motivation and effectiveness in implementing strong science learning.Expenses $471,013

Programs recruit, train, coach and place scientists, engineers, and other STEM professionals from academia and industry to serve as role models and mentors while leading students and teachers in authentic STEM learning experiences. Programs introduce K-8 students to STEM careers and pathways, illustrate connections between daily lived experiences and potential careers. In 2025, our STEM outreach programs engaged 1,500+ STEM professionals and directly reached 20,000 young learners. Lesson plans, materials, resource information, science content, and teaching strategies are shared with classroom K-8 teachers to build teacher capacity and empower educators to build on the BASIS and Be a Scientist lessons to extend learning. Students engage in authentic science and engineering practices, meeting California standards in science, math, language arts, and Environmental Principals and Concepts.
