About us

Super Scientist Inc. provides STEM education for elementary students through hands-on, immersive experiments and projects.

We engage with our customers through camps, classes, after-school clubs, school science projects, engineering challenges, and in-class STEM courses during school. Our accessible pricing structure ensures high-quality STEM education is available to all socio-demographics, tapping into underrepresented pools of talent.

Our fun and interactive experiments keep students engaged and enthusiastic about STEM activities, with a hope of future employment opportunities, helping to rebalance the currently shrinking number of STEM professionals lost through retirement and attrition.

Most importantly, we teach our students essential life skills like problem-solving, critical thinking, perseverance, and conflict resolution, empowering them to reach their full potential in higher education and beyond-all while having a whole lot of fun!
