Initiatives

Every year, SiS and the Scottsdale Math & Science Academy welcome students ages 5-15 to Saguaro High School to spend an afternoon exploring the wonderful world of STEM. We offer live, hands-on   experiments in all areas of STEM, no matter if your student is a geology genius, a physics fiend - or has no experience, but lots of questions about STEM! Along with our industry and academic partners, we invite students of all ages and walks of life to see, try, and experiment with the amazing world of STEM; to show them the infinite possibilities and fun in the fields of science.  

Using our fully stocked SiS trailer, we travel to you to make STEM more accessible to schools and communities in the Valley. With our traveling set of experiments and volunteers, from hosting tables at your school science fair to full-scale SiS events, we’re happy to help!

Jada Saves the Day!,  written and published by one of our own SiS student founders, follows the story of Jada, a little girl with a big love of the sciences as she solves a nefarious cyber crime for her brother’s robotics team. Written for ages in grades K-5, ‘Jada’ introduces young readers to the amazing world of robotics while teaching important lessons about cybersecurity, courage, and integrity. Through our ‘Read To Me’ program, our students  have introduced g Jada to hundreds of students in schools and clubs throughout greater Phoenix. Reach us at sistersinstem4146@gmail.com to set up a reading session at your location!

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the SiS team stayed in action, revising our programs for a virtual world. First Fridays, virtual events hosted on the first Friday of each month, brought STEM into the home. Our annual SiS night continued, in a virtual live event hosted by our SiS team and a panel of industry STEM professionals. CyberSiS, our cyber safety program for students in grades 3-5, was also developed during the pandemic, teaching ever more important cybersecurity lessons to classrooms virtually.  See our archive of these events at: SiS Archive.
