Science, originally a program of Crossroads Community Outreach Foundation, Inc.(CCOF), which was formed as a separate 501 (c)(3) organization by Crossroads School for Arts and Sciences in 2004 to share resources with under-served schools in the greater Los Angeles community, absorbed the 501(c)(3) in June 2017 in order to focus all efforts on bringing rich STEM programs to under-served elementary schools. 14 14 12 63 0 379554 523078 60090 356955 1037 80 0 440681 880113 0 0 346190 578969 0 108636 147357 199397 493547 778366 -52866 101747 432766 474348 60165 0 372601 474348 The great minds of tomorrow are in elementary schools everywhere, but science isnot. PS Science brings inspiring lessons to classrooms that cultivate a deepunderstanding of the world and grow students and teachers who are confident andinspired by science. false false 445000 Classroom Program:During the 2021- 22 school year, as the covid pandemic eased and schools returned to in-person instruction, PS Science returned to full implementation in 209 classrooms around Los Angeles in a variety of forms. The majority of classrooms continued to have a PS Science Instructor come each week to present the science lesson and mentor the classroom teacher in inquiry science instruction techniques. However, with the library of full lesson videos that our instructors produced during the pandemic, we were able to launch the PS Science program at several new schools in a more cost-effective manner by providing each classroom with weekly materials delivery, lesson plans, and instructional videos that eased the science teaching burden on the classroom teacher. For these teachers, we assigned a PS Science Instructional Coach who provided weekly lesson resources and instructional tips through email, and was available to meet and answer questions or provide additional coaching service. This was a significant move as it reduced the cost of the program by 75%, thus allowing us to serve more classes without significantly increasing our fundraising burden. At a small number of schools, we began supporting teachers in the use of their new district provided science curricula; helping to ensure that the investment made in the purchase of these new instructional materials would not go to waste. 102613 ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS:The 2021- 22 year also had a significant increase in the number and diversity of out-of-school time enrichment STEM programs that PS Science provided. All PS Science Enrichment programs are provided at no cost to students. We continued to offer weekly remote STEM clubs to students at all our partner schools, and in-person after school Code Clubs at three school sites. We also provided Family Science Nights at three schools. Two of the Family Science Nights were held remotely using video presentations created by PS Science instructors that presented a storyline and engineering challenge for families to work on at home, then submit their final projects via video which were edited into a follow-up presentation which was shared with the school community. The third night was held in-person.Through PS Sciences partnership in the LA STEM Collective, we received funding that enabled our instructors to work with 24 LAUSD Remote STEM Enrichment classes for students in grades K- 5 throughout the year. We also provided weekly summer STEM programs for kids at the Boys & Girls Club of Santa Monica, Inglewood Parks summer camp, and LAUSD summer Enrichment school sites, providing thousands of youth with engaging STEM programming throughout the summer.Finally, two sessions of the PS Science S-STEAM- Rangers camp were run in June 2022. One session was held in-person at Crossroads School in Santa Monica for 25 5th grade students. This two week camp allowed students to immerse themselves in rich STEM learning experiences and form friendships with students from other schools. The second two week session was held remotely for 25 invited 5th grade students from all other PS Science partner schools and provided the same rich social and learning community for STEM-loving students. 547613 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 8 0 true 12 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 14 14 false false false false false false false true false false false true true true true true true true false false CA X Julie Olds 3103831497 1000 W Hillcrest Blvd Inglewood CA 90301 Julie Olds Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 79569 0 14378 Roger Weaver CO VICE PRES 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Gennifer Yoshimaru PAST PRES 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Corinne Schulman Trustee 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Babak Fardin Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Heather Felix CO VICE PRES 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Alex Klyce BD Pres/Chair 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Jennifer Malin Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Joanie Martin Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Leslie Aronzon Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 ALISHA WHITE MADISON Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 J Lloyd Bud Jacobs Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Parker Pearson Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Eric Borstein Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Betsy Dill Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 79569 14378 0 false false false na 0 67665 455413 523078 Program fees 356955 356955 356955 80 80 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 880113 356955 80 0 0 0 0 79569 25000 35000 19569 0 415558 340000 37779 37779 7554 5100 1454 1000 34367 27500 3000 3867 41921 33000 3500 5421 0 0 2800 2800 0 0 0 0 5051 5051 4361 4361 2827 1800 527 500 0 50971 40971 5000 5000 0 0 0 0 0 11344 11344 8091 8091 Program materials 52424 52424 Grant writer 35500 35500 Payroll processing 10953 10953 Outside services 7263 7263 7812 3211 4601 778366 547613 122117 108636 301019 297147 101037 101117 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 63014 17640 45374 0 0 0 30710 30710 0 432766 474348 60165 60165 0 X 372601 474348 372601 474348 432766 474348 101747 X false false false X 396111 372685 370052 379554 462913 1981315 0 0 396111 372685 370052 379554 462913 1981315 289618 1691697 0 0 0 1981315 0.85380 0.78960 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 63014 17640 45374 45374 Form 990, Part VI, Line 8: Explanation of No Contemporaneously Documentation of Meetings There are no committees with the authority to act on behalf of the Board.
