The Science Bus program aims to help teach science to elementary and middle school students.

Teams of two to four volunteers from the Claremont Consortium visit local elementary schools and share one- to two-hour science lessons, which generally teach a concept, give a demonstration and offer an interactive experiment for the younger students to perform. Depending on the school, the program could grow into science fair development and, possibly, result in the organization and hosting of a "Science Olympics."

Those involved with the Science Bus would like to reach lower income and under-privileged areas, in order to have the biggest impact on the community. The program offers an opportunity to reach out to students that will benefit the most from the volunteers' efforts.
