<div>Terra Science and Education was founded in 2011 as a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization to develop innovative young minds by creating opportunities to think critically, investigate real problems, and develop ideas that can create meaningful change through project-based learning.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Over 15 years, Terra has created several new opportunities for students and teachers to focus on what is important: learning to observe carefully, test ideas, accept challenges, and improve through persistence. Participating in one of Terra's project-based learning opportunities is important because it teaches skills that extend far beyond the classroom: communication, creativity, resilience, and problem-solving.
