A former research assistant professor at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, Dr. Rebecca W. Keller worked in the molecular biology field. Her background in biophysics, molecular biology and neuroscience coupled with her love of the dramatic and her doubts about the theory of evolution led her to prepare interesting “labs” for her children and neighbors. As a home-school mom, she developed Real Science-4-Kids to incorporate intelligent design concepts into a science curriculum that taught solid science concepts in a manner understandable for youngsters.

In 2001 she began to develop a formalized training program to equip non-science teachers (usually other moms) to feel comfortable with the material. Today Real Science-4-Kids is being taught by Christian home-schoolers in 50 states as well as Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Europe, Japan and Korea. Keller’s team continues to develop and test products.
