Elementary & Secondary Programs
NASA's elementary and secondary programs draw on the compelling context of Earth system science to support teacher professional development and promote student achievement in STEM.
Educators challenge their students and motivate them to achieve by enriching their own backgrounds in Earth system science and STEM. Professional development opportunities include online courses, workshops, and other activities that support the classroom study of Earth system science.
The Earth Science Education program strives to inspire the next generation of Earth explorers through hands-on science education experiences that expose K-12 students to Earth system science subjects and processes. NASA promotes student achievement in STEM by providing unique learning experiences, including opportunities for students to engage in the practices and perspectives of Earth system science, develop new skills, gain experience working with scientists, and develop a deeper understanding of the diversity of Earth system science-related careers.
The Earth Science Education Program also sponsors the development of education materials in support of STEM curricula. Curricular support efforts focus on an interdisciplinary approach aligned with national education standards in science, geography, mathematics and technology.
