The Science House is a project based at North Carolina State University. It sponsors teacher training programs, curriculum development, web-based experiments for use in K-12 classrooms, long-term loans of laboratory equipment, summer student research programs, and community outreach. The Science House became a national model for the interaction of university science departments and K-12 students and teachers. It began as the primary learning outreach program of NC State’s College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, and its mission has been to increase student enthusiasm for science and mathematics by partnering with teachers and schools to promote hands-on, inquiry-based learning. It engages faculty and students at NC State University and other institutions to enrich teachers’ content knowledge and to help students visualize careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics disciplines. The Science House has existed since 1991, and it is located in Centennial Campus with 8,400 square feet of classrooms, offices, a teaching laboratory, and a computer-learning center as well as six satellite locations throughout North Carolina. In 2013, the Science House became part of the new College of Sciences.

Dr. Haase was the founding Director of The Science House. He co-authored over 120 papers in experimental physics and science education, and he co-edited a book of student learning activities and six volumes of Conference Proceedings on K-12 Outreach from University Science Departments. Dr. Schulze served as Interim Director of the Science House and Project Director for the The Science House Girls Collaborative project.
