Pueblo Science is a registered Canadian charity founded by scientists and engineers.
Our mission is to advance STEM education across the world and create lasting solutions to poverty.
We do this by running a series of programs designed to engage students and spark their interest in science, through fun, hands-on and community - relevant learning.
Our flagship program, Rural Initiative for Science Education (RISE), provides science teacher education in low-resource communities.
RISE also provides training for student leaders and science workshops for students.
