Scientists in School (SiS) is a dynamic charitable organization dedicated to helping young Canadians reach their full potential. Founded in 1989, SiS enables Kindergarten to Grade 8 students to become 'scientists in their school', catalyzing long-lasting interest in science, technology, math, environmental stewardship and engineering.
The Optimist Club of Ajax was the first organization to support SiS and have supported them every year. SiS has inspired nearly 14,000 student scientists, 500 teachers, and nearly 1,300 parent volunteers for 2010/11 in Ajax alone!
