You can make an impact on the quality of K-12 science and math education across North Carolina and beyond by supporting The Science House Endowment. The endowment will provide funding for Science House programs, especially new initiatives that extend our reach and innovative programs for teachers and students.

What we do
A national model, The Science House annually helps more than 5,000 teachers learn new ways to involve their students in activities that encourage the excitement and challenge of hands-on learning. The Science House is now actively involved in projects in several states.

Rural schools stretched to find qualified teachers and obtain laboratory equipment are provided training and equipment loans from our five satellite offices. Middle and high school students participate in science and mathematics camps at NC State and at the rural satellites.

The Science House develops laboratory activity books that show how research at NC State will affect our daily lives. Teachers and students across the nation use free learning activities, such as Countertop Chemistry, that are on our Web site.

Why give?
Much of the financial support for these activities comes from the NC State College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences and competitive grants. But grants and state-legislated budgets cannot meet the total needs of our growing program. We seek to establish a $1,000,000 endowment for The Science House that will fill funding gaps and ensure the continuation of our proven program.

We have already received over $500,000 in commitments and encourage supporters of science and mathematics education and NC State University to consider a contribution to the fund. The contributions will serve our future scientists, engineers and mathematicians.
