Letters to a Pre-Scientist @LettersPreSci

There’s something special about a physical letter. Writing it, sending it, waiting for it to arrive, and taking the time to really read it. The analog way of connecting slows us down and makes the connection last. ✉️

One LPS teacher shared that her students are learning about molecules. 🧪 This understanding will give pre-scientists the foundation needed to connect what they learn in class to what their STEM Pen Pals share in their letters and do at their jobs. #STEMforAll #LPSteachers #LPS

This pre-scientist mentioned their pets, and their pen pal replied with a photo of their cats! 😻 Small connections spark big joy. #STEMPenPals #STEMforAll

Before pre-scientists are paired with their STEM Pen Pals, they go through our STEM Topic Sort Lesson 🧩. This lesson helps students explore different STEM fields & identify their top interests, which guides us in finding their right pen pal match, #STEMPenPals  #LPSteachers

Some of our pre-scientists have already begun writing their first letter. These letters mark the beginning of a year-long connection rooted in curiosity, encouragement, and exploration. We can’t wait for the mailbox moments to begin! #STEMPenPals #STEMforAll #FutureInTheMaking

Pen Pal Reveal Day looks a little different in every classroom ✨ This week, one of our teachers added a twist. After receiving their Match Cards, students went up one by one to share what they had learned about their STEM Pen Pal with the class.  #STEMforAll

CEO Lucy recently met for a walk with Pen Pal Sree outside of DC. They chatted about the synergy created when nonprofits like LPS partner with STEM companies and discussed the many ways partnerships allow us to advance #STEMforall together.  #PenPalsInRealLife #STEMforall

We recently brought in a third-party evaluator to assess the impact of our STEM Pen Pal program and the results were even better than we imagined! Despite all the unique ways pen pals chose to write the biggest driver of student satisfaction was CONSISTENCY.  #STEMforAll

With just a few handwritten notes a year, you can help a middle schooler see themselves in STEM and remind them that they belong. This is the final week to sign up as a STEM Pen Pal for the 2025–26 school year. Come write with us. ✨ #STEMforALL  prescientist.org/volunteers/
