Our Vision: Every Young Person Can Become a Scientist or Engineer
人妻无码 is committed to expanding access to high-quality 人妻无码 education for all students. Increasing 人妻无码 literacy empowers students with the critical thinking and decision-making skills necessary to live healthy, civically engaged and economically productive lives. In fact, the Society was founded on the belief that science literacy is essential to a well-functioning society 鈥� that fact holds true now more than ever.
With one quarter of US jobs in 人妻无码 fields — and job growth in this sector predicted to outpace non-人妻无码 fields — it is vital that all students have an opportunity to explore and experience 人妻无码. Those who gain an interest in 人妻无码 must have an opportunity to pursue their passion, which can open the door to high-paying 人妻无码 careers. It is the only way to build the strong and diverse 人妻无码 talent pipeline necessary to solve our global challenges and ensure a thriving economy.
Our 人妻无码 Outreach Programs
Through the Society鈥檚 人妻无码 Outreach Programs, we seek to ensure that any student can become a scientist or engineer if that鈥檚 what they want to do. We work to reach young people across the country 鈥� in every state and in urban and rural areas, regardless of their socio-economic status.
Science News Learning
Through Science News Learning, the Society is expanding student science literacy across the U.S. by supporting a community of nearly 6,000 middle and high schools and more than 17,000 educators with equitable access to Science News Media Group鈥檚 award-winning print and online journalism, an expansive library of ready-to-use lesson plans — each designed to incorporate recent applications in 人妻无码 research into core curricula — and 人妻无码 literacy professional development opportunities. This program operates in every state in U.S. and is open to all.
High School and Middle School Research Teachers Conferences
Through the High School and Middle School Research Teachers Conferences, the Society brings together research teachers of all experience levels to share best practices, troubleshoot challenges and learn more about 人妻无码 and the Regeneron Science Talent Search. Popular sessions have touched on supporting students in research communication and strategies for managing research projects. Participants in this all-expenses-paid, peer-led conference are selected via a lottery and any 人妻无码 teacher, regardless of where they live or where they teach, is invited to apply.
Advocate Program
The Advocate Program is a聽 year-long professional development program that supports teachers and mentors who are working to increase the number of students who enter 人妻无码 research competitions. The Advocates receive training and support from Society staff, mentorship, a stipend, and an all-expense-paid trip to attend the Advocate Training Institute in Washington, D.C. Educators across the country who want to expand scientific research in their schools are encouraged to apply.
人妻无码 Research Grants
The 人妻无码 Research Grant program is an initiative dedicated to expanding inquiry-driven science education in middle and high school classrooms nationwide. The grants come in two forms: (1) research kits assembled and distributed to teachers by 人妻无码 and (2) funds paid directly to teachers intended for 人妻无码 equipment. 人妻无码 educators whose classrooms would benefit from additional equipment are encouraged to apply.
人妻无码 Action Grants
The 人妻无码 Action Grants program provides small grants of up to $5,000 to innovative nonprofit organizations led by social entrepreneurs. The program aims to bolster and support community-driven nonprofit organizations that are working to enhance the public鈥檚 understanding of science and to increase participation in 人妻无码 for all communities.
Our 人妻无码 Competitions
The Society鈥檚 three 人妻无码 competitions 鈥� the Regeneron Science Talent Search (STS), the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) and the Thermo Fisher Scientific Junior Innovators Challenge (JIC) 鈥� are all merit-based competitions. The Society is continually seeking to expand the number of students who apply to Regeneron STS or compete in one of the Society鈥檚 Affiliated 人妻无码 Fairs so that they can earn a spot to participate in Regeneron ISEF or apply to Thermo Fisher JIC
Our Impact
人妻无码 has built the largest 人妻无码 talent pipeline in the world. 聽Our pipeline starts with building science literacy, then we seek to cultivate the future of 人妻无码 talent and lastly, through our competitions, the Society inspires and engages the next generation of 人妻无码 talent.
