“The youth of today are the architects of tomorrow. Invest in them, and the world will thrive.” – Desmond Tutu

Dear friends,

Education has always been our most powerful instrument for progress and transformation. Creating a safe space for young people to tinker, build, explore, and nurture their curiosity is more important than ever, particularly when so much around us feels uncertain.

Today, the urgency of our mission has never been clearer. Our youth are increasingly seeking high-quality science education that empowers them to change the world. They are driven by the belief that their creativity and determination can help shape a better future, not just for themselves but for the generations that will follow.

The pressing challenges of climate change, social injustice, and unrest weigh heavily on their minds. Our workshops and programs are essential sanctuaries where youth of all ages can thrive, reclaim their sense of control, and cultivate hope for a brighter tomorrow.

Please consider donating to help us continue providing free and highly accessible programming, along with free community days at our three community science workshops. Your support will also help us expand our internship program, allowing our youth to take an active role in shaping their future.

Our youth are resilient. Our community is strong. But even the most courageous efforts require support to grow. Now is the time to stand beside them so that we can be the change we need to see in the world.

Thank you for your commitment to investing in our future.

With gratitude and curiosity, 

Sonia Gandiaga
