StudentRND inspires students to learn more about science and technology.

Why? When learning how to ride a bike, the majority of people learned by trying over and over again until the skill has been mastered, not by reading a textbook, listening to a lecture, or watching an educational video. Thus, when learning about science and technology, students should be actually applying the knowledge they learn and asking more questions. Science is about inquiry.

Sounds great, but how do we do it? Much like there are libraries for people interested in reading, and sports fields for those interested in sports, we run a workspace in Bellevue where students can learn from our volunteers and classes as well as working on many cool projects. We provide students with all the latest tools, as well as make connections to local businesses to bring in specialists.

The StudentRND workspace is absolutely free and students of all ages, especially those in high school, are encouraged to drop by.

Why does StudentRND matter?

Technology is so prevalent nowadays–and yet, students are not really learning about the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. StudentRND is working to inspire students–through our enriching, hands-on workspace experience, through educational visits to science labs, and through a sense of community.
