Mosa Mack Science was born out of one teacher’s frustration with the existing science resources. While teaching science in New York City, founder Lissa Johnson realized that the online resources were ineffective: they lectured her students, perpetuated outdated stereotypes of what scientists look like, and failed to make science relevant.

Johnson wanted to fix this problem and created Mosa Mack to inspire a new generation of scientists. The Mosa Mack team now includes writers form This American Life, artists from Nickelodeon and expert curriculum creators out of the Stanford Scale program. Through this team, Mosa Mack has grown nationally to provide all educators with reliable, entertaining and rigorous science resources.
