We are scientists, engineers, and other STEM professionals who volunteer to help students in STEM education in Santa Fe schools
The Santa Fe Alliance for Science supports Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM) education and enrichment, with a current focus on K-12 school students.
Santa Fe is fortunate to have a large population of scientists and engineers for a community of its size. Until the founding of the Santa Fe Alliance for Science in 2005 this resource was not utilized by Santa Fe schools. Santa Fe Alliance for Science began finding, recruiting, and organizing scientists to volunteer in schools.
The need was great, schools were welcoming, and now some 100 professionals volunteer.  We provide STEM enrichment activities in schools, interact one-on-one with hundreds of students at school STEM fairs, support STEM workshops for teachers, and partner with community organizations to offer interactive STEM workshops for middle and high school students.
