Leap into Science is a nationwide program developed by The Franklin Institute Science Museum that integrates open-ended science activities with children’s books, designed for children ages 3-10 and their families. The program empowers educators to offer workshops in community settings like libraries, museums, and out-of-school time programs to engage underserved audiences in accessible and familiar settings.

● Scheduling and leading at least three (3) Leap into Science workshops for children and families living in underserved rural or urban communities by next spring.
● Posting each workshop to The Connectory, a searchable directory for STEM programs across the country.
● Leading Leap into Science activities during National Leap into Science Week during the last week of February.
● Completing a workshop report following each workshop.
● Participating in quarterly calls with other trained educators in your state.
● Completing an annual survey and possible interview.
Each organization who participates in Leap into Science will receive:
● A 4-hour in-person training on high-quality science and literacy curriculum and facilitation strategies for two or more educators
● Ongoing support during program implementation as part of a Leap into Science National Network
● Access to the national Leap into Science leadership team and online resources
● A curriculum and materials kit (valued at $300)
● Web-based training on new curriculum themes in subsequent years
