Careers in Science is a multi-year, year-round paid internship and youth development program for San Francisco youth who come from communities typically underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields.
TASC youth volunteers carry out the Academy’s mission to explore, explain, and sustain life by delivering youth-created and youth-facilitated STEM learning experiences on the public floor and around the Bay Area.
TASC MS offers youth in 6th-8th grade an introduction to science and sustainability through field excursions, nature investigations, and citizen science projects.
#TeenScienceNight is the nation’s largest youth-only museum event. #TSN is planned for teens by teens, for a fun and free night to explore, learn, engage with science, and connect with the Bay Area community.
Science Action Club (SAC) provides afterschool and summer learning organizations with high quality staff training, teaching kits, and STEM activities that inspire youth to explore nature and conduct citizen science investigations.
