Commission on Science that Matters
Elementary Institute of Science
As the premier science enrichment center in San Diego County, EIS has been offering science and technology learning opportunities for over 40 years. Each year, around 650 students, from over 250 schools, participate in EIS’ “hands-on and minds-on” science programs.

Currently, EIS offers after-school, Saturday and summer programs for students (ages 7-13). EIS instructors are upper-level college or graduate students majoring in one of the scientific fields. They bring their knowledge of the latest scientific advancements and the newest technology to EIS students in a variety of subjects including astronomy, biology, chemistry, computer science, engineering, geology, health, natural science, photography and technology. In 2006, EIS launched a new program for older alumni (ages 13-15), called the Commission on Science That Matters to focus on the critical issues for their future; health, energy and water.

As a 501c3 non-profit, EIS relies on community support to make these programs possible.
