Scientists in School has been hit hard by the extended school and community closures because of COVID-19. We have had to temporarily close our doors and are facing $1.2 million in lost operating revenues. (1/6) https://charity.gofundme.com/o/en/campaign/covid-19-stand-up-for-future-scientists">https://charity.gofundme.com/o/en/camp...

(cont& #39;d) Over 300,000 children are missing out on the formative childhood STEM education enrichment experiences that our charity typically provides in the spring and summer months. Despite the challenges, we are focused on what we need to do to ensure that we can recover. (2/6)

(cont& #39;d) In response to COVID-19, we have launched an urgent $100,000 fundraiser called “Stand Up For Future Scientists." The funds will help us continue to bring high-quality hands-on STEM to children across Ontario and Alberta when schools and community sites reopen. (3/6)

(cont& #39;d) Over 31 years, we have inspired millions of children through hands-on science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education experiences. In a normal school year, we reach over 700,000 elementary students at a cost of only $8.50 per student. (4/6)

(cont& #39;d) The funds raised through this campaign will be split between helping our organization rebound from the impact of COVID-19, and providing complimentary classroom workshops to schools serving impoverished areas. (5/6)

(cont& #39;d) Please stand up for future scientists by making a donation or by sharing our fundraiser link below using the hashtag #StandUpForFutureScientists. We sincerely appreciate any and all donations during this incredibly difficult time. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💜" title="Violettes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Violettes Herz"> (6/6) https://charity.gofundme.com/o/en/campaign/covid-19-stand-up-for-future-scientists">https://charity.gofundme.com/o/en/camp...
