Culturally Relevant
Science (CRsci) is a 501(c)(3) dedicated to creating innovative, affordable,
and inclusive STEM education for all students,
especially those from underrepresented communities. We believe that every
student, regardless of how they identify, deserves to see themselves
represented in STEM, so that their engagement, achievement, and pursuit of STEM
careers will increase.
