TEACH (Together Educating All Children in Hospitals) is an international not-for-profit organization that brings exciting, handson, educational programming to children in hospitals. Our mission is to create an outlet for children of all ages to passionately engage with the sciences through the medium of fun, interactive experiments.
Through engagement with practical science concepts, the children are challenged yet empowered. They emerge comforted and confident, encouraged to successfully cope with the trials that lie before them. TEACH modules challenge children to think creatively and bring an element of fun to an otherwise monotonous day.
When TEACH volunteers visit, children get excited and experience STEM topics through more than 75 different interactive modules. Patients can learn about real life concepts while also having an exceptional amount of fun. They are amazed as they create silly putty while learning about polymers and build boats that float. Observing the science of physiological respiration using yeast to inflate a balloon or discovering density by creating their own lava lamps truly changes the way they view science, their stay in the hospital and life.
What makes us special is that TEACH was founded by and is entirely run by students. In Spring 2013, TEACHs two cofounders were inspired to help with the need for interaction and activity, the craving for a personal bond, and the lack of mental and physical stimulation exhibited by hospitalized children. Under the mentorship of Dr. Edward Burns of Albert Einstein College of Medicine, TEACH was created to heal through teaching. TEACH began with monthly modules in a local Bronx hospital and grew to reach nine hospitals with hundreds of volunteers from the tristate area.
We have served over 3000 children, 30 hospitals internationally, and 1000 volunteers.
