The CroSSlinks program links the science community with schools to improve science education for Albuquerque students. The program continues Sandia’s commitment to the effective utilization of inquiry-based science instruction. Volunteers partner with teachers to advance the teaching of hands-on science in support of district standards and required curriculum.

Samples of the activities that CroSSlinks volunteers participate in are:

• Present science demonstrations
• Provide career information
• Participate in field trips
• Judge science fairs
• Schedule a Family Science Night
  

A CroSSlinks volunteer explores a science activity with a group of Elementary School students.
