Do you like to make things, tinker and create? Are you fascinated by physics phenomena or perhaps excited to assemble skeletons? Help Pittsburgh Science Workshop build interesting new resources to enrich underserved communities and spark curiosity in all ages! You are welcome to bring your own project ideas or help us with ones we have in the works. Visualizing sound waves, building a human battery, putting vertebrae in the right order, all in a day's exhibit building work.

Mission Statement
Our mission is to empower young people from underserved communities to grow academically, and expand their confidence, through hands-on science and creative ingenuity.
Description
A community science workshop (CSW) is like nowhere else in the world - it is filled with collected rocks and bones, homemade hovercrafts, spinning wobble-bots and live snakes and lungfish. It is a place where neighborhood families can visit for free to explore their own interests and ideas, build projects, learn new skills, and get curious about new science topics. It is a place of community and inspiration. In the workshop, children can learn important science concepts from their own physical, hands-on experiences!
The CSW program model has been growing and thriving for 28 years bringing hands-on, curiosity-driven science to underserved and marginalized communities from Fresno CA to upstate NY. We believe that through experiments, tinkering, and building, children can develop a genuine interest in learning and a positive relationship with the world around them. Help us to bring these benefits to Pittsburgh through our community space on the Northside our fantastic mobile science bus!
