About Us
At Bronx Science, we’re surrounded by students with a wide range of passions and hobbies. We believe creativity and learning grow when you have the chance to try new things, and we want to share that spirit with children in hospitals. Through For Care, we bring our unique mix of interests to students living with chronic illness—and beyond—offering free tutoring, mentorship, and creative workshops. Whether it’s help with homework, exploring coding, learning chess, or experimenting with art and writing, our goal is to open doors to new skills and joy, helping each child discover something they may not have thought to try before.
