In a time when it seems there’s more bad news than good, we’d like to share a story that makes us grin ear-to-ear. Take heart, science lovers! The future of scientific learning is alive and well—in the small form of a nine-year-old girl from Georgia.
Angelica Krubeck is the founder of Super Science Kids, a new nonprofit whose mission is to “teach and engage at-risk children and youth (in shelters and in the foster care system) into the field of science.” According to her website, www.supersciencekids.org, it all started in February 2016, as Angelica began to mold her plans for a volunteer program that would serve at-risk children who might not otherwise have a chance to explore—and most of all, enjoy—science.
