Our Mission:
At Demos, our mission is rooted in a commitment to fostering science education among local elementary students in New Haven, Connecticut. As an undergraduate volunteer organization at Yale University, we strive to make science not only educational but also enjoyable and accessible. With a rich history deeply embedded in the New Haven and Yale communities, Demos takes pride in being recognized as one of Yale’s most esteemed educational organizations.
Throughout our journey, we have played a pivotal role in shaping the scientific exposure of young minds. In the late ’80s and early ’90s, when local school standards didn’t mandate elementary science education, Demos stepped in to fill the gap. For almost a decade, we dedicated ourselves to introducing thousands of New Haven elementary students to the wonders of science.
Our Activities:
Our activities encompass a diverse range of programs designed to engage and educate. One of our primary initiatives involves classroom volunteering, where our dedicated volunteers actively participate in organizing hands-on science experiments. These experiments are tailored for New Haven elementary schools, with grades ranging from 3-5, and occasionally extending to kindergarten or as advanced as sixth grade. Our modules are crafted to teach students about overarching scientific principles, covering topics such as the human body and chemical reactions.
Join us at Demos as we continue to inspire a love for science, making a lasting impact on the educational landscape of our local community.
