Science Express is a high school outreach program that offers students and teachers hands-on experiences with scientific instruments—many of which are not typically available in high school labs. By combining theory with real-world practice, the program enhances understanding of modern scientific technology.
Since its inception in 1991, Science Express has reached over 500,000 students and provided training to more than 400 teachers, expanding access to cutting-edge science education and strengthening STEM skills across diverse communities.
Teacher Training
We provide one teacher training opportunity each summer on the Purdue University campus. Teachers are trained to use the instruments appropriate for the high school laboratories. Emphasis on real-world applications helps to demystify the instruments and link experiments to student experiences. The use of a variety of instruments provides a wide range of laboratory experiments and allows teachers to customize their science curriculum to meet the needs of their students.
Cost
The cost for the program is $500 per teacher per year with a maximum of $2000 per school.
