Science Fair Approved Suppliers
Approved Supplier Program
Science Buddies has created an "Approved Supplier" program in an effort to help visitors save time and avoid the hassle of locating the materials necessary to complete the Project Ideas on our website. We have prescreened an assortment of suppliers based on a variety of criteria, including breadth of product offerings, ease of ordering, customer service, and shipping procedures. The majority of suppliers participating in our "Approved Supplier" program have no relation/association/connection to the Science Buddies website and are only recommendations based on our previous ordering experiences. Science Buddies does have affiliations with Amazon.com, Carolina Biological, and Jameco Electronics which offer Science Buddies a referral for any order submitted through special links within our Project Ideas. Proceeds from the affiliate programs help support Science Buddies, a 501(c)(3) public charity, and keep our resources free for all users.
If at any time you encounter difficulty ordering from one of our "Approved Suppliers" or with the part number and links listed on our website, please contact us at scibuddy@sciencebuddies.org
