Program Description:

Science In Motion is about supporting science teachers by:

  • Sending certified mobile educators to the schools with multiple sets of equipment and supplies needed to give every student a hands-on experience
  • Sending equipment and materials to teachers independent of the mobile educators to allow greater access to advanced laboratory equipment and resources
  • Providing professional development opportunities for teachers to keep high-school courses up to date with the latest discoveries in science

All of this at no cost to teachers, thanks to our support from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and businesses such as GlaxoSmithKline, Kish Bank, PNC Bank, Lititz Mutual and D C Goodman & Sons Inc.
