New England Sci-Tech, Inc. (NEST) was founded in 2018 by Bob Phinney. Bob believes that hands-on STEM learning and literacy is essential for meaningful participation in our society. Based on his 43 years of experience teaching K-12 students, he realized that many students need more time, attention, and resources for hands-on, experiential science education. He founded NEST to provide access to enrichment opportunities to supplement what is experienced in school to expose K-12 students to the more exciting aspects of science and to spark interest and enthusiasm for STEM.
