It contains a full science curriculum that makes it easy for elementary teachers to re-create scientific discoveries in the class.

We’re working on the most important infrastructure problem in the world today: our ability to solve problems. Richard Feynman explains the problem well. To paraphrase him: our modern lives are made possible by our knowledge of science and technology, yet remarkably few people have a scientific perspective on the world. At Mystery Science, we have developed a unique way to pass on knowledge to the next generation and develop children’s ability to think.If you’re an experienced Growth Engineer with deep experience helping grow products and want to be an early member of our Growth Team, let’s talk.
