Science Buddies in Action

Last year Science Buddies reached close to 7 million students, teachers, and parents across the United States and the world. We often get emails from visitors to our site thanking us for the materials that we develop, and these stories really make our day! As a nonprofit organization, these stories really help reinforce the impact that we are having with you, our visitors, and help us to see first hand the "Science Buddies materials in action." Science Buddies in Action shows how real kids are using Science Buddies materials to create interesting projects with success! We want to hear your science fair stories, so please share them with us at scibuddy@sciencebuddies.org.
