Mission
The Senior Science Society exists to leverage the information within
the minds of Harford County senior scientists to benefit county youth by
working through Harford Community
College (HCC), and within the educational community, business, and government
organizations to foster and promote the scientific, rational and creative
thinking processes through education, networking, advocacy, and professional
and field development.

Objectives
-
Be a beacon for science philanthropy. Attract scientists to expand
and accelerate the appreciation of science in Harford County Youth.
-
Improve the message of the messenger. Augment and supplement
the learning experience through scientific advice, cooperative mentoring
and encouragement, realizing elementary schools may not always have dedicated
science teachers and that teachers at all levels could benefit from the Society's
involvement.
-
Enable parents to become Science, Technology, Engineering, and
Mathematics (STEM) advocates. Become a respected science sounding
board that supports educational institutions. Help awareness of and attentiveness
to the benefits of science within the family, Harford County, and the greater
community.
-
Secure the future. Develop funding sources to sustain the work
of the Society and fund STEM scholarships.
