POWER THE FUTURE WITH SCIENCE
ABOUT THE IDEA TO IMPACT CAMPAIGN
Social media serves as a forum for activism and a powerful channel to learn how science lays out a concrete path toward change.
Partnering schools, youth-serving organizations, scientists, and influencers, we use social media for young people across the U.S. to share how they think science could be used to solve problems in their communities.
Let’s ensure that the voices of young people across America are heard!
The Idea to Impact Campaign will be launching this Fall 2025!
