Ciencia Puerto Rico (CienciaPR) is a 501c3 nonprofit organization that provides a meeting point for a global community of more than 17,000 scientists, students, educators, and allies who understand that science can empower people with the knowledge, ability, and agency to improve their lives and society. The organization leverages this rich and diverse community—the largest collective of people interested in science and Puerto Rico in the world—to democratize science and transform science education and careers. Since 2006, CienciaPR has increased and improved science communication in Puerto Rico, created culturally relevant educational resources and experiences that enhance students' attitudes and interests toward science, and developed training and opportunities to empower members of its community to be agents of change. CienciaPR's efforts over the past decade have garnered multiple accolades, including being named a "Bright Spot" for Hispanic Education by the White House in 2015, "Science Defenders" by the Union of Concerned Scientists in 2018, and winning the Breakthrough of the Year in Science Engagement award at the Falling Walls conference in 2021.
