Our Programs
Our volunteers support young STEM learners by giving them the unique opportunity to work directly with “real scientists.”
“The Santa Fe Alliance for Science was born in May, 2005. It arose from the hope that the large body of talented engineers, mathematicians and scientists in the Santa Fe area could perhaps be marshaled to provide significant assistance to local K-14 schools in math and science education. Over its 15 years of effort, the Alliance has found many ways to contribute and has established itself as a major force in STEM education in Santa Fe.” Bob Eisenstein, Founder Since 2005, we have partnered with classroom teachers and schools in Santa Fe to put students and teachers in direct contact with STEM professionals. Our 75-100 volunteer network of STEM experts build students’ curiosity and confidence in STEM by engaging them in hands-on STEM learning experiences. Our organization currently focuses on supporting elementary (K-8) school students. Our dedicated volunteers enhance classroom learning by:
Our volunteers support young STEM learners by giving them the unique opportunity to work directly with “real scientists.” Our Current Programs In the interests of the health and safety of our program participants and our volunteers, the Alliance will deliver all of its services remotely, and there will be no in-person interaction with faculty, staff or students of the Santa Fe Public Schools. This policy will be revisited as circumstances evolve with the current Covid-19 pandemic.
Science/STEM Fairs
Adopt-A-School
We link a team of Alliance volunteers with an elementary school to provide tailored, year-round STEM wrap-around support and programs. This program supports young STEM learners by engaging them in a variety of hands-on STEM experiences, both during and after-school, led by our our network of volunteers.
