Mission:
The Einstein Project is a non-profit organization that partners with schools, businesses, and communities to provide leadership and support for science education in Wisconsin. The Einstein Project was founded in 1991 by the business community and continues to be supported by area businesses, community organizations and service groups. The Einstein Project owns science units covering 42 grade appropriate areas of study which allow schools to provide an exemplary hands-on science curriculum for students. Prior to using a unit in their classroom, teachers must receive instruction through The Einstein Project giving them hands-on experience with the material. The Einstein Project is a national model for systemic change in Science Education.
