The Apollo Technology Center, at more than 20,000 square feet, replaced the East Hanover Technology Center, which had served as S2S' headquarters since its founding in 2009. The new Center allows S2S to implement major program expansion to better reach the over 500,000 students in NJ in need of education support and will include dedicated lab space for the new elementary school Improving Student Affinity and Aptitude for Careers in STEM (ISAAC) program (Grades 3-5) and a state-of-the art production studio for the expanded Virtual Lab (V-Lab) Program (Grades 3-12). The Center will also offer expanded programming for Middle School STEM ISAAC Days (Grades 6-8), High school Career ISAAC Days (Grades 9-12), and host a new STEM Summer Camp in the Summer of 2026. S2S will also launch a new Educator Professional Development Program designed to upskill current K-12 teachers and support development of laboratory fundamentals for new teachers just starting their careers.
By expanding these cutting-edge STEM programs, Apollo Technology Center will allow S2S to continue to create transformative learning experiences that go beyond the classroom. Additionally, increased opportunities for community, corporate and higher education volunteers, along with flex space for workforce training and professional development will allow students and community members to expand their academic horizons, engage in experiences that mirror real-world applications, and shape the future of STEM industries.
"This is a defining moment for Students 2 Science. The Apollo Technology Center doubles our programming space and, more importantly, allows us to reach more students than we ever have in the organization's history. It has been six months of very hard work to develop this site, and I could not be more thrilled to open it up to the community," said Paul A. Winslow, President and Co-Founder of Students 2 Science.
