World of Teen Science

The only multidimensional science magazine by and for middle school, high school, and homeschool students

The life of a scientist is more than formulas and experiments. It is the puzzle of why something is not working as expected. It is the story you tell a friend that makes them see the world differently. It is art inspired by microscopy, song lyrics that share your challenges and breakthroughs. The life of a scientist is multidimensional.
