Every Student Deserves Hands-On Science Education
OUR MISSION
Advancing Educational Equity by Creating a Circular Economy for Scientific Materials
We collect used and surplus lab supplies and equipment headed for waste streams and put them directly into classrooms — for free - fueling curiosity with real, working scientific tools instead of worksheets and diagrams. On average, each teacher who visits our Oakland, CA warehouse leaves with $2,600 worth of free supplies, at no cost to them or their school.
We invest in future scientists and in expanding access to hands-on STEM education — keeping usable equipment out of landfills along the way.
Empowering Teachers.
Schools and educators often work with limited budgets. We give teachers free lab equipment and supplies, so cost is never the reason a classroom goes without hands-on science.
Our Mission in Action
Equipping Classrooms.
Hands-on science builds STEM literacy and brings it within reach for every student. We serve schools across California, with special attention to Title I schools.
Reducing Waste.
Surplus lab equipment that would otherwise end up in a landfill gets a second life in classrooms instead — good for schools, and good for the planet.
