What We Do
(And how we make it free for teachers)
1. Clients Hire Us
Researchers,
nonprofits &
companies pay
Government-funded researchers and organizations that want to support research impacts on society hire us to make a body of knowledge available to the public.
2. We translate
research
into
lessons
Our team of science communicators, educators, and artists work directly with subject experts to translate our clients' area of focus into free lessons for grades 5-12. Our goal is for every lesson to be ready to teach in any subject classroom by a non-expert with 15 min. of prep time.
3. We Publish
Free lessons
for
everyone
Working closely with educators and districts in our growing network, lessons are tested and taught in classrooms. Equal access to lessons means more of the public can connect with the body of knowledge our clients care about.
4. We Improve
evaluate,
revise,
repeat
All of our lessons are continuously evaluated, updated, and revised—meaning they are always up-to-date and working to make the jobs of teaching and outreach easier!
