LIKE CHILDREN EVERYWHERE, THEY LEARN MOST EFFECTIVELY WHEN THEY ARE CHALLENGED AND HAVING FUN. WE ARE A PARTNERSHIP OF STUDENTS, PARENTS, SCIENTISTS, ENGINEERS AND EDUCATORS WHO HAVE COME TOGETHER TO HELP FOSTER THIS INTEREST IN SCIENCE. WE BELIEVE CHILDREN ARE MOTIVATED TO LEARN WHEN THEIR IDEAS ARE CULTIVATED THROUGH THE FUN OF DESIGNING AND DEVELOPING EXPERIMENTS. SCHMAHL SCIENCE WORKSHOPS PUT THE "SIZZLE" BACK INTO SCIENCE. THROUGH OUR PROGRAMS, SCHMAHL SCIENCE WORKSHOPS HELPS STUDENTS ENGAGE IN SCIENTIFIC EXPLORATION AND DISCOVERY THROUGH OUR WORKSHOPS AND AUTHENTIC RESEARCH EXPERIENCES. 0 0 164276 16879 36000 OUTREACH DESCRIPTIONSSW PROVIDES OUR OUTREACH HANDS-ON WORKSHOPS TO SCHOOLS THAT DO NOT HAVE THE RESOURCES TO INCLUDE SCIENCE AS A REGULAR PART OF THEIR INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAM. SSW HAS OVER 700 PRE-KINDERGARTEN THROUGH TWELFTH GRADE HANDS-ON SCIENCE / ENGINEERING WORKSHOPS, EACH DIRECTLY LINKED TO NGSS. OUR PROGRAMS INSPIRE & EMPOWER YOUTH TO BECOME YOUNG SCIENTISTS, PURSUING & DEVELOPING THEIR INTEREST IN STEM FIELDS THROUGH HANDS-ON EXPERIENCES THAT BECOME OPPORTUNITIES FOR CAREER ADVANCEMENT. IN 27 YEARS, HUNDREDS OF YOUNG SCIENTISTS WORKING WITH SSW HAVE RECEIVED MANY AWARDS. STUDENTS HAVE GONE ON TO PURSUE COLLEGE MAJORS IN STEM FIELDS. SSW INSTRUCTORS ARE SCIENTISTS & ENGINEERS. AS SCIENTISTS & ENGINEERS, THEY MODEL PASSION FOR SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY TO SPARK OR FAN THE FLAMES OF A GENUINE INTEREST IN STEM FIELDS. SSW RESPONSE TO COVID: WE RENTED A PORTABLE SINK FOR VICTORY GARDEN FAMILIES SO THAT THEY COULD SAFELY CONTINUE TO GROW THEIR FOOD IN THE RAISED BEDS.SSW RESPONSE TO COVID: WE DONATED SUPPLIES AND EQUIPMENT TO NONPROFITS, INCLUDING GILROY HIGH SCHOOL AND GOODWILL TO SUPPORT STUDENTS. 70829 36150 OUR SEMINAR PROGRAM EMPHASIZES BOTH THE NATURE AND THE PROCESS OF SCIENCE. THESE ARE TWO DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF SCIENCE. THE NATURE OF SCIENCE DEALS WITH ISSUES IN THE PHILOSOPHY, SOCIOLOGY, AND HISTORY OF SCIENCE. IT INCLUDES CONCERNS, SUCH AS THE NATURE OR ATTRIBUTES OF SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE ITSELF - E.G., THAT SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE IS DURABLE, BUT IS ALWAYS INHERENTLY SUBJECT TO CHANGE. THE PROCESS OF SCIENCE ADDRESSES WHAT SCIENTISTS DO IN ORDER TO DEVELOP THAT KNOWLEDGE. THE OBJECTIVE OF THE SEMINAR RESEARCH PROGRAM IS TO PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING CONCEPTS TO EQUIP STUDENTS WITH FUNDAMENTAL KNOWLEDGE THAT STUDENTS NEED TO SUCCEED. OUR SEMINAR RESEARCH PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH AN OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD ON AN INTEREST IN RESEARCH / ENGINEERING AND DEVELOP SKILLS, KNOWLEDGE AND ANALYTICS CRITICAL TO SUCCESS. EACH STUDENT PURSUES A TOPIC (OR TOPICS) OF HIS / HER OWN INTEREST IN A REAL LAB SITUATION, PAIRED WITH A SCIENTIST / ENGINEER MENTOR WHO HAS EXPERIENCE IN THE CHOSEN RESEARCH FIELD. THE SEMINAR INCLUDES TRAINING IN LAB SAFETY, LITERATURE RESEARCH, LAB NOTEBOOK DOCUMENTATION, AND LABORATORY TECHNIQUES AND DATA ANALYSIS. THE OBJECTIVE OF THE SEMINAR RESEARCH PROGRAM IS TO PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING BY LEARNING THE EIGHT ESSENTIAL PRACTICES OF SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING.SEMINAR PARTICIPANTS WILL ALSO BENEFIT FROM CONTEXTUAL AND HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SPECIFIC SCIENTIFIC CONCEPTS AND THE FORWARD LOOKING RELEVANCE TO ONGOING EXPLORATION AND RESEARCH. OUR PROGRAM EXTENDS WELL BEYOND THAT TOPIC TO ADDRESS A SET OF CAPABILITIES AND EXPERIENCES THAT WILL BE VALUABLE IN ALL MANNER OF FUTURE ENDEAVORS AND RESPONSIBILITIES. SSW RESPONSE TO COVID: WE DONATED SUPPLIES AND EQUIPMENT TO NONPROFITS, INCLUDING GILROY HIGH SCHOOL AND GOODWILL TO SUPPORT STUDENTS. 71999 36782 INDEPENDENT RESEARCH PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONOUR INDIVIDUAL RESEARCH PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE TALENTED MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS WITH THE MENTORS, LABORATORY SPACE AND EQUIPMENT NECESSARY TO DESIGN, DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT ADVANCED RESEARCH PROJECTS. STUDENTS LEARN HOW TO DESIGN A PROJECT BUDGET, TIMELINE, WORKFLOW/SCHEDULE PLAN, AND SAFETY PLAN IN ADDITION TO THE LITERATURE RESEARCH, PROJECT DESIGN, IMPLEMENTATION, AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS. WE DONATED SUPPLIES AND EQUIPMENT TO NONPROFITS, INCLUDING GILROY HIGH SCHOOL AND GOODWILL TO SUPPORT STUDENTS. INDIVIDUAL INVESTIGATIONS PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONTHE INDIVIDUAL INVESTIGATIONS PROGRAM CULTIVATES AN ENVIRONMENT THAT NOURISHES IDEAS. THE PROGRAM IS BUILT ON PROCESSES AND GUIDANCE THAT ENCOURAGES STUDENTS TO ADOPT AN APPROACH BASED ON QUESTIONING AND INQUIRY. FOR EXAMPLE, BY STUDYING THE BIOPHYSICS OF ORGANISMS SUCH AS BATS, MOTHS, BUTTERFLIES AND WATER STRIDERS, OUR EMERGING SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS ARE INTRODUCED TO NATURE'S PROVEN SOLUTIONS AND WILL EXAMINE THEM BY SEEKING TO UNDERSTAND THE CATALYSTS AND BENEFITS ASSOCIATED WITH THE EVOLUTIONARY DEVELOPMENT OF THE SOLUTION CHARACTERISTICS. THE II PROGRAM CREATES AN EDUCATIONAL BRIDGE BETWEEN NATURE AND DESIGN SO THAT STUDENTS WILL LEARN HOW TO USE NATURE-INSPIRED STRATEGIES TO HELP SOLVE THE MOST URGENT PROBLEMS OF THIS GENERATION. 307104 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 2 0 23 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 5 4 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 CA X THE ORGANIZATION 4082817595 1650 SENTER ROAD SAN JOSE CA 951122599 BELINDA E LOWE SCHMAHL EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X X 29905 0 0 ELLEN HILLBRICH COO 40.00 X 32501 0 0 KEN SCHMMAHL CHAIRPERSON 2.00 X X 0 0 0 LUC MOYEN VICE CHAIR AND TREASURER 2.00 X X 0 0 0 STUART ROSENBERG SECRETARY 2.00 X X 0 0 0 MICHELLE NOVOTNY BOARD 2.00 X 0 0 0 JANE HUYHN BOARD 2.00 X 0 0 0 62406 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 113295 78702 499 191997 RESEARCH (IRP) 611710 68532 68532 OUTREACH 611710 36000 36000 ZOOM INDIVIDUAL INVEST 611710 4400 4400 108932 MISCELLANEOUS INCOME 900099 15 15 15 300944 108947 0 0 16879 16879 98829 39512 31972 27345 123627 123627 8451 3345 5106 18205 14982 2357 866 2724 2724 191 191 1395 30 995 370 7989 3735 4254 11405 11405 7 7 4074 4074 15640 15640 12140 4966 7174 PROGRAM EXPENSES 84381 84381 405937 307104 70252 28581 134514 110792 15000 0 2239 2625 488673 412619 12065 10463 244025 225497 34317 18528 686808 555027 119327 108456 39731 37031 27533 20895 6248 0 192839 166382 X 493969 388645 493969 388645 686808 555027 -104993 -331 0 X 0 0 0 X 211141 162259 148441 257739 191997 971577 419064 447822 453948 295075 108932 1724841 630205 610081 602389 552814 300929 2696418 135507 108004 109840 353351 0 135507 108004 109840 353351 2343067 454 454 454 454 317 15 332 630659 610081 602389 553131 300944 2697204 0.86870 0.86050 0.00020 0.00160 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 244025 225497 18528 18528 0 FABMO 1240 BIRCHWOOD DRIVE NO 2 SUNNYVALE CA 94089 270658796 501(C)(3) 16879 RESALE VALUE MICROSCOPES AND OTHER SCIENCE WORKSHOP EQUIPMENT SCIENCE WORKSHOP EQUIPMENT DONATED TO SUPPORT LOCAL SCHOOLS 1 FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 2 BELINDA E LOWE SCHMAHL AND KEN SCHMAHL ARE MARRIED FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B A COPY OF THE COMPLETED 990 WAS PROVIDED TO THE BOARD PRIOR TO FILING.
