Spring Forward to STEM

If there is one thing we’ve seen in the past year, it is how critically important people working in STEM are -- science, technology, engineering, and math.

When you donate to the Minnesota Academy of Science, you’re bringing STEM volunteers, resources, and opportunities to students across Minnesota. 

We were thrilled that so many students were able to participate in all our programs virtually this year, including our Regional Science Bowls and State Science Fair. However, registrations were still down due to COVID and distance learning. Fewer registrations meant that we suffered a significant loss in revenue. 

Here's what one teacher said about our virtual programming this year:  “Virtual learning and COVID restrictions are really hard on my team's mental health. Science Bowl has kept them going. The kids feel like they are not entirely alone in this weird situation and that they still have good friends!"

We have our fingers crossed to gather again in person next year, but we need your help to get there. During SpringForwardMN this May 1-11, we need to raise $10,000 to jumpstart planning for safe and engaging events in 2022. 

Your gift right now is an investment in the support and engagement so critically important for keeping our young people connected to STEM. The power of our programs and the dedication of our supporters got us through this pandemic. And together, we’ll come out the other side of this difficult time with even more stories to tell. 

Thank you for your support!
