    Our Mission

    At WMSI we strive to excite kids and teachers about STEM knowledge and skills and help them grow as creative problem solvers.

    White Mountain Science develops and delivers STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) programs for students in school and out of school settings; for teachers through our professional development programs; and for school systems, universities, and STEM education organizations through our consulting efforts. Highlight programs include our summer camp and after school offerings in Bethlehem, NH; co-teaching a STEM class at the Profile school; the NCES Transforming North Country STEM Instruction teacher PD program; consulting with Tufts University for online engineering graduate programs for teachers; and consulting with LEGO Education’s global office in Billund, Denmark.
