You can be a catalyst. You can spark creativity, curiosity and innovation by helping COSI continue to improve science literacy, foster a STEAM workforce and provide accessible STEAM learning across a diverse community.

Your support of Catalyst is critical to helping COSI reach our goal of distributing thousands of Learning Lunchbox science kits at no-cost to under-resourced learners right in their community. These Learning Lunchboxes feature space exploration, civic responsibility, diversity and math, and contain a week’s worth of STEAM activities and science experiments with every item and ingredient learners need to become the innovators of tomorrow.
