Hands On Gainesville: 

Scientists seeking to create a new generation of problem-solvers one community at a time.

We make the connections that promote doing science instead of viewing science.

 We connect:

• Scientists to Students
• Students to Nature
• Nature to Science
• Science to our Lives

We reveal the science in sites around town by linking community-contributed, hands-on activities that teach through guided observation and problem-solving practices.

We mentor others and work with students to design their own exhibits, thus providing a real-world network beyond the classroom through which students contribute back to the community.
