Welcome to Learning Encounters,
a company dedicated to nurturing a love of scientific exploration. One simple fact is at the core of our business, we love science. Science is fun! From astronomy to biology, geology and chemistry - the world of science is captivating.
Tom Smith, one of our founders, was instrumental in the design of the Galileoscope, a telescope kit offered for the "2009 International Year of Astronomy." While helping to design the telescope, Tom realized there was a great need for high quality, affordable science education products. Learning Encounters was formed to provide science products that ignite imaginations and instill a lifetime love of learning.
Our site also has great science resources including science experiments for kids, teacher lesson plans, and other resources for classrooms.
