The mission of EIS is to inspire a love of science and create opportunities for diverse children and youth. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).
EIS was founded in 1964. We are an educational equity and social justice organization with science as our engine. EIS is committed to providing rich learning opportunities that prepare children for bright futures. EIS collaborates with schools, parents, businesses, and community partners to engage students in authentic, hands-on science learning. Our out-of-school and school partnership programs broaden access to STEM education, foster critical thinking, and encourage students to pursue STEM careers.
I had the opportunity of teaching at EIS in 2011 as a biology and computer science instructor, before diving into a career in STEM education. EIS inspired me to continue to design meaningful, equitable and accessible STEM programs for students for the next 12 years! Now as an EIS board member, I am thrilled to be able to continue to support the work EIS is doing for our San Diego community!
