About Us

The overall goal of Growable is to promote science literacy as a capacity to make effective decisions grounded in STEM-informed analyses of the big challenges coming our way – both personal and societal. We work through a variety of avenues, including working with PreK-12 educators and students, and public and private partners to achieve this goal. Growing a curious mindset is our top priority. We provide experiences that help individuals transform from consumer to creator while addressing locally relevant challenges.

We define science literacy as:

“An enhanced capacity, both at the individual and collective levels, to make decisions grounded in science-informed analyses of complex, real-world systems and their associated challenges.”

Part of the Growable mission is to inspire future generations to pursue careers to solve the challenges of an ever-expanding population. However, there is a bigger need to normalize critical assessment and thoughtful implementation of the creative solutions developed to meet societal needs. Everyone must have a voice in meaningful discussions around tough topics like GMOs and climate change. Thoughtful and informed voters will select leaders and policy decisions that align with long-term solutions. Knowledgeable consumers will vote with their dollars and make informed decisions related to the health and well-being of themselves and their families.

At Growable, we believe in the power of curiosity! It’s the spark that makes learning an adventure. By diving into systems thinking, we help students connect the dots and see the big picture—whether it’s understanding how plants grow or how we impact our world. STEM-informed decision-making skills equip learners to make choices grounded in science, innovation, and possibility. We’re here to nurture curiosity, grow understanding, and cultivate a future of thoughtful, empowered learners!
