Science Unlimited's approach aligns to state and federal science standards while including the critical elements of play and constructivist learning. Playing with science allows students to learn in a safe atmosphere where it's okay to make mistakes and try out new ideas. Constructivist learning allows students the opportunity to develop their own picture of the scientific world. Rather than simple being told what the existing theories are, students are given opportunities to make their own discoveries. Later, the students and instructor work together to create explanations for the discoveries.

Science Unlimited creates a supportive atmosphere to give both girls and boys a huge collection of positive childhood experiences with science. This builds skills in hands-on problem solving, motivation for youth to pursue careers in science, and a love of science in future generations.

Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Science Unlimited makes its instructional and teacher training services available to a wide variety of schools, recreation departments, home school programs and a wide variety of other organzations.
