Thank you for joining us in making hands-on science education accessible for everyone.
Donate funds to purchase the equipment in need
If you would like to make a monetary contribution towards making science education more accessible, you can donate to LEAP through Caltech Y! A donation of any amount will help make opportunities of a STEM education more widely available. We will only use the fund to purchase the lab equipment and supplies requested by the school teachers.
Note: please indicate "for LEAP use only" under Apply My Donation To section.
Donate your time
We welcome everyone at the Caltech community to join our LEAP project to make a real-life impact on public high school science education. Whether you are an undergrad, grad student, postdoc, staff, faculty, or alum, you can help! We are looking for people who are interested in helping us campaign for lab equipment donation on campus, especially those who have connections across labs, specific building floors, or divisions.
We expect a time commitment of about 1-3 hours a week. Reasonable time commitment, lasting impact! Fill in this survey for volunteering, and you will hear from us soon!
