About Activate Learning

We help educators bring hands-on science to life and support them every step of the way.

We create powerful curriculum, but
Our approach matters just as much as our products.

At Activate Learning, we know that great science education isn’t just about textbooks, digital tools, or kits—it’s about making sure teachers and students have the right support to succeed.

We don’t just sell curriculum; we partner with schools to ensure successful implementation.

Science is for everybody!

We Believe
All Kids Can Do Science

Science isn’t just for kids who get top grades—it’s for everyone. But too often, students are told, directly or indirectly, that science isn’t for them. Maybe they don’t see scientists who look like them, or they’ve been led to believe that being “good” at science means memorizing facts.

We believe every student, no matter their background, should have the chance to see themselves as a scientist. When all students feel included in science, it opens doors—to new ways of thinking, to future careers, and to a lifelong curiosity about the world.

That’s why we create curriculum that is designed for all learners, ensuring that every student has a place in science. Equity isn’t just a goal—it’s fundamental to how we design our programs.

We Believe in
Investigation-Centered STEM

What is Investigation-Centered STEM?
Investigation-Centered STEM is a hands-on approach where students ask questions, test ideas, and discover answers through exploration—just like real scientists​.

Science isn’t something you just read about—it’s something you do. That’s why real science learning starts with asking questions, testing ideas, and figuring things out through hands-on exploration.

We take a strong stance on this: If all you want is a textbook or a video-based program, we’re not the right fit. But if you believe science should be hands-on, inquiry-driven, and collaborative, we’re here to help you bring that to life in your classrooms.

Always hands-on

Science teaches students HOW to think, not WHAT to think.

We Believe
Science Teaches Critical Thinking

Science isn’t just about facts and formulas—it’s about learning how to think. When students engage in investigation-centered STEM, they ask questions, evaluate evidence, and make sense of information. These are the same skills they’ll use to solve problems, make decisions, and navigate the world.

By learning to think like scientists, students gain the ability to analyze complex ideas, challenge assumptions, and back up their reasoning. Whether they go into science, business, or the arts, these skills help them succeed.

Strong science education isn’t just about preparing future scientists—it’s about preparing all students to think critically and solve real-world challenges.

We Believe in
Building Lasting Relationships

Adopting a new curriculum is a big decision, and schools deserve more than just great materials—they deserve a partner who supports them every step of the way. We build long-term relationships with schools and districts to ensure smooth implementation, confident teachers, and successful students.

We know that implementing a new curriculum takes more than just handing over the materials. From onboarding to ongoing support, we ensure schools have what they need for a successful implementation. We’re not the cheapest option—we’re the best at implementation. That’s why districts choose to work with us year after year.

We've got your back, every step of the way.
