History
Tiny Science started when Jen began volunteering at her kids' school with a praying mantis setup. Jen had been rearing praying mantises every spring for over 15 years and thought the preschool might be interested in this fascinating project. There was immediate interest in weekly visits to talk about the mantises and answer (amazing) questions from these big thinkers. After being encouraged to grow the program, Jen founded Tiny Science, LLC. Jen now lives her dream of being responsible for searching for and rearing of insects, as well as learning and telling people all about them. Nerd on
