Why every student deserves a chance to do science
When you think of a student scientist, what image comes to mind? Maybe it’s a young person in a crisp white lab coat pipetting liquids, or maybe it’s someone taking water samples in a stream. But at Science Research for All, we believe the true sign of a student scientist is much simpler: curiosity, persistence, and the chance to ask big questions. And every student has that potential, if we give them the opportunity.
How our program works
Science Research for All is on a mission to promote STEM education through student research to all high school and middle school students.
Through teacher education and in-service, a viable and thriving student research program can become part of a school’s curriculum or after school program.

Research builds more than science skills
Original research teaches students so much more than formulas or facts. It nurtures critical thinking, resilience, writing, creativity, and confidence. It gives students the space to try something, fail, rethink it, and try again, just like real scientists do.
But too often, access to science research programs is limited to elite schools, private institutions, or students with family connections in STEM. That’s where we come in.
Let’s Build This Future Together
We believe that research should be a part of every school, whether urban, suburban, or rural. We provide teachers with the training and materials they need. We guide students through the process with empathy and structure. We partner with communities to remove barriers such as cost, language, and access.
If you’re a teacher, consider bringing Science Research for All to your classroom. If you’re a parent, ask your school about student research opportunities. And if you’re a supporter of equity in education, partner with us.
Because when you give a student the chance to do science, you give them the power to change their world!
“As founder and president of Science Research for All, I believe every student deserves the opportunity to ask big questions and discover their own potential through original science research. Our mission is rooted in equity, access, and the belief that science belongs to everyone.”

Let’s Work Together
If you’re a teacher interested in implementing a program, or a school leader looking to expand STEM access, we’d love to talk. We’ll help you design a research pathway that fits your schedule, supports your staff, and inspires your students.
Because every student deserves the chance to do real science, and every educator deserves the tools to make it happen.
