Children often imagine science as something done in laboratories by people wearing sparkling white coats and staring down microscopes. But at the age of nine, Allyson Landreth, learned that she could actually have the best of both worlds — enjoy the outdoors and still be a scientist.

While a fifth-grader at Pioneer High School, Landreth took part in the Children’s Discovery Museum BioSITE program aimed to connect school kids to their local environment like rivers, creeks and watersheds. “It sparked my love for science,” said Landreth, now 22 and studying to be a life sciences teacher at San Jose State University.
