The Science Education Alliance (SEA) represents an innovative way by which the Howard Hughes Medical Institute can significantly impact science education across the education continuum. It creates the opportunity to bring leading scientists and educators together to develop, implement, and/or disseminate vetted and novel methods, technologies, and practices that can broaden scientific understanding and participation.
At the center of it all is the alliance, a group of networked individuals and institutions committed to scientific advancement and science education, who realize that the two are inextricably tied together. As such, they are committed to help each other and to be helped by others in the pursuit of preparing 21st-century scientists for leadership and our citizens for broad scientific understanding.
Workshops, short courses, institutes, and symposia are held to train educators in the newest innovations in science education; visionaries discuss where science is headed and what needs to be accomplished in order to prepare students to be successful in the field.
SEA is being administered through HHMI’s Precollege and Undergraduate Science Education Program. For more information, email sea@hhmi.org.
