The National Center for Earth and Space Science Education (NCESSE) has a nearly 20-year heritage of creating and overseeing national programs addressing science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education, with a focus on earth and space. Programs are designed to provide an authentic window on science as a human endeavor, and to inspire … then educate.
A central objective of the Center’s programs is to help continue America’s legacy as a leader on the frontiers of science and technology well into the 21st century by helping to ensure a scientifically literate public and a next generation of scientists and engineers—both of which are of national importance in an age of high technology. NCESSE is a project of Tides Center, a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to social change.
NanoRacks, LLC was created to provide affordable access to the International Space station (ISS) for small experiments.
