MISSION:
To teach and engage at-risk youth (especially children in shelters and in the foster care system) into the field of science. To empower youth! To inspire the next generation of scientists, mathematicians, and engineers. |
 We were able to engage around 80 children into the field of STEAM during our Science Week for MentorME!!!! I am especially thankful for the team of 10 youth SSK volunteers that served this week. Also, thank you to Mrs. Janene for covering our youth that called in sick! You’re a lifesaver! Thank you to Mrs. Elisa and Mrs. Silvia for providing this opportunity for us! Love you both! I hope to do this every year for you.♥️ Can’t wait to see you in May to do “messy” science activities!!!!

It is people like you that motivate me to keep going even through struggles. Thank you to my good friend for serving with me!!! I can’t wait to give a foster kid an absolutely free fun science birthday party!! #empoweringatriskyouth #liftingeachotherup #girlpower #changemakers #scienceiscool #servingwithfriends
 I had a great time teaching kids about air pressure at the Otwell Middle School STEAM night. The GA Tech’s vacuum chamber is so cool and having the chance to show it off was fun. I always love serving with my friend, Mr. Jack from GA Tech Research Institute! I’m so thankful for the opportunity. #empoweringkids #inspiringthenextgeneration #teachingscienceisfun
 I had a blast helping to join University of North Georgia professionals with at risk youth throughout the community in order to work on this great project together for UNG research! Check out the article:

We are so thankful for the opportunities, counsel, and great support they always provide. I’m so happy I was also able to make a new amazing friend, too! @thenamegapreteen The kids at My Sisters House Atlanta Mission had a great time learning about aerodynamics, sounds waves, and optical illusion. But, I think the favorite station was the Inertia Towers. Even the moms had a great time trying the towers out! I love when people realize how fun science can be! Pebble Tossers
 The Sierra Association of Foster Families event at the Discovery Science Museum was a GREAT SUCCESS in Reno, Nevada!! We were able to share the love of science with 100 people from SAFF! They were even able to network with a couple PhD scientists to organize two more science events teaching the foster kids robotics and chemistry! I want to thank SAFF, Terry Lee Wells Discovery Museum, and Mr. Galata for this wonderful opportunity to share my love for science. This is a picture of one of the families that attended the event. Mr. Galata said they have all been adopted, are all disabled, and this was their very first time to the museum. They were the first to arrive and the last to leave!

Thank you so much for the opportunity, Ka Pa’alana! I hope to serve your amazing organization in person someday soon! I would love to do a Hawaiian Island Science Tour for you!♥️ Partners In Development Foundation  Such a wonderful event for the refugee kids today!!! 35 beautiful kids! We always fall in love with each of the kids we serve. We love to hear and witness the stories of the kids engaging and igniting sparks of interest.
One little girl was having a tough day studying English with her tutor and the tutor told Jelly that the little girl was feeling very frustrated. But, she said as soon as the little girl rotated through the science stations her demeanor changed from withdrawn to excited and she wanted to learn more and more. This has been Jelly’s drive since the start of her nonprofit, moments where we can show kids their own amazing power they have within themselves. A big thank you to Refugee Support Services, Catholic Charities, Indian Creek Elementary and our incredible volunteers! This could not have been successful without you! We treasure all of you! ♥️ ~posted by Rachel  I was invited to speak at a luncheon with Mrs. Michelle Nunn as the guest speaker. She is the President and CEO of CARE USA and was the Democratic Party nominee for Georgia's U.S. Senate seat in 2014. She is also the daughter of former U.S. Senator Sam Nunn. I loved her words of inspiration. It was an amazing experience and I enjoyed meeting and networking with so many motivating women. I am very honored to have been a speaker today. Thank you Women Source for all you do and for the opportunities that you provide to empower women and girls!♥️😁
WomenSource, Inc.  I’m SOOOO happy! We were approved to do a foster family science night for SAFF at The Discovery Museum. Serving 100 people!!! I can’t wait to collaborate with these organizations this summer and Mr. Galata!🤩🤩🤩🤩

Ka Pa'alana in Hawai’i! So excited to send it soon! Partners In Development Foundation I've met a lot of amazing people along my journey. So far, Super Science Kids has been able to reach over 3,000 at risk kids. I admit, its hard work. But, every struggle is worth inspiring the next generation of scientists, mathematicians, and engineers. I truly believe kids can do great things! Please help me continue my mission by donating at the following link. Any amount will greatly help the kids I serve. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to the top of outer space! www.gofundme.com/donate-to-super-science-kids   I had such a blast teaching science at the 21CCLC After School Program today. We served around 50 kids. I was excited to hear, after a busy afternoon, that one of the kids I taught went home and actually taught his younger brother and sister some of the science he learned with me!!! So thankful for the opportunity to ignite sparks for science!!!
 So much fun teaching science to kids at the Atlanta Mission My Sisters House Shelter! Thank you so much to Pebble Tossers for the opportunity to serve with you!

Recycled Rainbows  I met so many wonderful people today at the UNG CMS retreat. I was honored to be their guest speaker this year and I am very thankful for the amazing opportunity Dr. Bodri gave me! I was blown away at the standing ovation they gave me. Their enthusiasm for my efforts energizes me to continue fighting for this cause. I hope they will help me inspire the next generation of scientists, mathematicians, and engineers.
 I finished teaching today at Hope Harbor Shelter in Nebraska. It was really fun! Mr. Dave Glomski from Edgerton Explorit Center came and did a bunch of fun bubble experiments! One of my favorite experiments that he did was where he put the kids in bubbles! It was so cool!! All the kids, my dad, and Mr. Dave did a little concert with their sound sandwiches. I loved it!
One girl said, “ Oh my gosh! I love science!” One of the moms told us,” God bless you,” when we were leaving. Everyone was so kind! Thank you to Mr. Glomski for helping me teach and thank you Hope Harbor Shelter for allowing me to come teach and empower your students! I was also able to stop by to see the first Lincoln Monument at the Nebraska State Capitol Building.♥️ Now we’re off to Colorado! Edgerton Explorit Center Hope Harbor, Inc.  Our first stop was at Safe Haven Family Shelter in Nashville, TN. We had 4 science stations and Mr. Chris Earnhardt, from Adventure Science Center, had a bunch of experiments to show the kids. It was so much fun! There was one little boy that asked me so many great science questions! He said the stations were fun. I’m glad he had a good time! I want to thank Safe Haven Shelter for allowing me to serve their kids and Mr. Earnhardt for helping me teach kids. Safe Haven Family Shelter Adventure Science Center

AuthorMy name is Angelica Krubeck and I am 13 years old. I love science. It's one of my favorite things to do. When I was 8, one of my friends opened up to me. She shared how she grew up in a shelter and how hard every day was. After that conversation, I decided I wanted to help kids like her in some way. Science I love and kids I love, so put them together and it just makes sense. I knew that some kids out there don't get the chance to be creative with science, like how I do. I strongly believe that no kid should be without the education and enjoyment of science! Not only does it help them get away from their worries for a little while, but it also provides education to them. I hope to inspire kids to do great things, to succeed in science, and to develop a love for science despite the challenges they are facing in their life. Archives
