​Our Philosophy

Research has proven that children when engaged with science early on can develop a lifelong passion for it .We believe that there are no right or wrong answers. Every science and Engineering problem has many possible solutions and multiple ways to reach them. Whats important at the end of each experience is not the success or failure of the project but the thinking process that brings you there.We use the engineering design process to guide us through this exciting journey. 
Our technology lessons aim at introducing students to the 21st century skills that are required to succeed in the digital era. From learning to build their own website to video editing to learning SEO tools, our lessons prepare them to build their own brand and authentic voice.                                          

More..

• We tightly integrate inquiry based hands-on engineering projects along with Literacy and the Arts within our curriculum. This builds in our students, creative confidence and the ability to innovate fearlessly.​ 
• Not to mention...The kids have a blast while learning and retaining basic science and Engineering knowledge for a longer period of time.
• And the icing on the cake !!... They gain important 21st century life skills like problem solving ,critical thinking, empathy, a growth mindset and public speaking skills. ​

Our Mission

​Our Mission is simple :  To nurture future innovators by engaging elementary school students with science ,engineering  and technology in a way that nurtures their creativity and their passion for innovation . 

How do we accomplish that ? : Our lessons are carefully crafted for younger kids by integrating them with literacy ,arts and  hands-on projects. These tools help them understand and retain the knowledge longer.Their fun , hands-on experiences also imbibes in them the curiosity to dig deeper into these topics as they grow older.We use tools that promotes independent thinking , storytelling and collaboration skills.
​
In short We aim at developing in our students ,a lifelong love for science , engineering ,creativity and innovation.

Our History

Our after-school program called Petri-dish Science has been a highly popular and a much loved offering at various elementary schools in the Cupertino Union School District,California for the past 3 years.
We feel privileged for having been selected as a partner by Blue Hills elementary to offer our STEAM curriculum to all students during school hours . We were engaged in training school staff in the Next Generation Science Standards from 2018-2020.
​We also provided our curriculum design services to Cupertino Union school district to design maker carts for their pilot rollout to schools in the district.
In April 2020 Petri-dish Science was featured in NSTA reports for the unique integration of science and the arts in its curriculum.
