Addressing Diversity, Access, and Equity is at the core of our mission within all of our programs. Our company motto is to make Accessible, understandable, and cool.

As a result, we are committed to creating a learning environment that is inclusive and accessible to students from diverse backgrounds. Our curriculum is designed to reflect a wide range of perspectives, ensuring that students see themselves represented in the scientific content they engage with. We teach that anywhere can be your laboratory- no fancy tools or requipment are needed to be a scientist. 

Science provides a common language that enables students from various backgrounds to communicate and work together. The principles of scientific inquiry are objective and unbiased, emphasizing empirical evidence and logical reasoning. 

To enhance access, we prioritize the use of inclusive teaching methods and materials that cater to different learning styles. Our program also takes into consideration the varied socioeconomic backgrounds of students, and we provide all of our materials with our program.

When they leave the classroom, the materials that we use are things they can find around any household, meaning socioeconomic factors don't discourage students from continuing the science.

We believe that science serves as a powerful unifier, transcending cultural, geographical, and societal boundaries. The pursuit of scientific knowledge promotes collaboration and the sharing of ideas, and the fact-based nature of it means that anyone can do science. In our ELOP Science program, students are exposed to a diverse array of scientific contributions from around the world, fostering an appreciation for the universal nature of scientific inquiry.

Through our mission, we aim to transform education into something fun, free from textbooks and lectures, empowering students with the knowledge and skills to understand the world around them and move forward in STEM careers if they choose. 

We're always looking to partner with organizations that foster the same mission and goals as us. To date, we've partnered with over 30 individual organizations or local community groups to offer science experiences. 

For years, we've partnered with Worthy of Love, a Los Angeles based foundation that offers birthday celebrations to homeless children, or those without parents. We have supplied free birthday parties for these students that are science based. 

We've also partnered with local science community groups, given presentations and donated free worskhops to Title 1 Schools, and partnered with groups that can expand our reach to others in pursuit of science. 

Our partnerships have one goal in mind - expand science opportunities and exposure to students that we wouldn't otherwise be working with. 

We understand that for a company like ours, so rooted in the people who work with us, and our staff, improvement and our promise to deliver quality is an ongoing journey, and we actively engage in systematic processes to enhance the quality of our programs continually.

One key aspect of our commitment to continuous improvement is regular program evaluations. We conduct thorough assessments of our science curriculum, our teachers in the classroom with local Field Managers, and student engagement strategies.

We evaluate all of our teachers and our course curriculum, and solicit feedback from clients, end users, teachers, and internal staff in order to make sure we're hearing what we can do better, and also what we're doing right!

Every client that we work with is asked to evaluate their experience, and students are asked to assess how much they enjoyed our lessons and their teacher. Our curriculum team combs each lesson to ensure it's gotten good feedback, and we're always working to improve the direct teaching methodologies our teachers use to manage students by way of our training and development and field manager team.

This includes seeking feedback from students, parents, and educators to identify areas of strength and opportunities for refinement. By carefully analyzing this feedback, we can adapt and evolve our programs to meet the ever-changing needs of our students and ensure that our science education remains innovative and effective.

In addition to feedback-driven improvements, we stay abreast of advancements in educational research and pedagogical practices.
