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.” Science/STEM FairsThe Santa Fe Alliance for Science has been judging science fairs in the SFPS system for now over 20 years. The annual science fair season culminates in a district fair where the top three student projects in grades 3-HS, from each participating district school, can now compete with other schools at the district level. The District Fair generally takes place in February
Adopt-A-School
We link a team of Alliance volunteers with a selected elementary school (currently Nina Otero Community 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 led by volunteer scientists , both during and after-school. A summer STEM enrichment program has also been supported by the Alliance.
