The mission of EIS is to nurture the intellectual curiosity of San Diego’s young people by providing hands-on learning experiences to further understanding of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).

EIS collaborates with schools, parents, mentors, community partners and other members of San Diego's STEM-learning ecosystem to impact students from early childhood through high school. Our after-school, weekend and school partnership programs broaden access to quality STEM experiences, foster critical thinking, expand technical skills and encourage students to pursue STEM careers.
