TOPS (Teaching Opportunities for Partners in Science) is a program where Scientists participate as education Partners in schools. They assist in classroom presentations, family science nights, field trips, science clubs, and career days. The TOPS Partners act as science and math content resources.  Please see our Powerpoint for more information.  You can also download a TOPS flyer here.
