Our Mission
Our mission is to increase scientific enthusiasm, understanding, and legislative value in the Milwaukee area. We strive to engage the community in evidence-based programs, promote awareness of local scientific affairs, and collaborate with diverse partners to positively influence public opinion in the areas of science education, public health, and sustainability.
Our Story
MASA was created by a group of science enthusiasts who came together to plan Milwaukee’s March for Science in 2017. The event, held on April 22, 2017, attracted hundreds of volunteers and drew thousands of citizens to downtown Milwaukee where they demonstrated their excitement, enthusiasm, and commitment to science. We recognized this overwhelming desire for community engagement in science in the Milwaukee area and used this momentum to launch MASA.
Since June 2017, MASA has been working to increase community engagement in science education, public health, and sustainability in the Milwaukee area by hosting community events, collaborating with community partners, and sharing science information on social media.
