Inspiration Through ScienceStrong Education

Science, when presented as both a subject and as a method of study, helps children better understand the world in which they live. Science allows for active learning.

Promoting science education is a fundamental component of Pierce Cedar Creek Institute's mission. To build upon this effort, the Institute launched ScienceStrong—Explore, Experience, Engage in the fall of 2014 with a specific goal in mind: to improve science literacy among area preschool through high school students by providing resources for teachers and expanding learning opportunities for students. Barry County students are becoming ScienceStrong!
