Science Buddies mission is to inspire and educate students of all ages with hands-on STEM explorations that reflect their unique personal interests. Since 2001, we have provided nearly a quarter of a billion highly personalized educational experiences, driving student discovery, engagement, and learning in STEM subjects.

Free and open to everyone, we level the playing field, making STEM learning possible for students of all demographics.

Our work is made possible each year by the companies, foundations, and individuals who provide grants and sponsorships to Science Buddies.

We seek sponsorship of particular programs and efforts, including currently our 2025 Engineering Challenge, and for general operating and unrestricted funding for overall Science Buddies efforts.

Sponsorship levels start at $5,000. Please contact Tina Lanese: tina@sciencebuddies.org to learn more about current opportunities.
