San Francisco, Calif. and Washington, D.C. 鈥� San Francisco-based The Plenary, Co., in partnership with 91制片厂, announces the launch of a new educational resource package for its I Am A Scientist initiative.

The 91制片厂 Collection features alumni from the organization’s prestigious International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF), representing fields ranging from microbiology to entrepreneurship and immersive design. This collaboration brings together two organizations dedicated to democratizing science education and showcasing the human side of 91制片厂 careers.
