We inspire the playful pursuit of enrichment through hands-on learning. Edventure More is an advocate for saving hands-on enrichment during the school year and summer months in these times of severe educational budget cuts.

Researchers across the nation are speaking out about California education. See why saving hands-on learning – especially science – in our schools is so important.

Lawrence Hall of Science, UC Berkeley:

• Half of Bay Area 5^th graders are failing science proficiency tests
• 8 out of 10 K-5th grade multiple-subject teachers reported spending 60 minutes or less per week on science. 16% spend no time at all on science

“Science education is central to our broader effort to restore American leadership in education worldwide. A decade ago, our best districts could compete with anyone in the world, but our worst districts were on a par with third-world countries. This kind of extreme inequity in education… has enormous repercussions in the workforce where science-based industries are desperate for skilled workers.” – Arne Duncan, US Secretary of Education

“The state’s schools used to be ranked among the nation’s top 10. California schools are now ranked in the low 40s in almost every academic category.” – John Rogers, Professor, UCLA

During a time of budget crisis and Summer Learning Loss, we are leveraging our museum partnerships, curriculum development expertise, and talented staff to serve the common enrichment goals of Bay Area elementary families. With the support of our Foundation Partners, we are bringing hands-on science to K-5th grade classrooms (In Class Programs), and hands-on arts to middle school youth (After School Programs).
