Numbers as of October 2, 2023 Who we work with About NESEC’s Partnerships What people are saying Loading... We love the student-centered and real-time data collection tools…and the inquiry and design-based approaches throughout NESEC’s work." Annual NESEC Partner Survey These kits are going to save summer programming. We can’t afford to send home supplies like bigger libraries can, this is like Christmas for us!" NASA@ My Library participating librarian, on receiving NESEC "Take and Make" activity kits. "Technology as a tool is incredibly motivating. Having NASA as a learning partner is also a strong motivator. My students rotate through their science investigation teams daily to make sure their cloud and contrail observations are completed with accuracy and that NASA receives the data in a timely manner…. In our second quarter the county assessment testing showed a 76.83% mastery of the objective that we just could not seem to meet before our participation in GLOBE." Dr. Caryn Long, Treadway Elementary School, Florida The more photos we took the more we began to enjoy it, and the more we began to take notice of things around us. We began to think about how the photos were being used and enjoyed seeing the progressing map of where the photos were being taken.” Scouts using GLOBE Observer in Australia during the 2019 GO on a Trail Challenge I was originally intending to pursue an AI programming degree. However, after experiencing this internship and learning all the remote sensing tools, I realized that science was very diverse. Moreover, everything that I learned in this internship can be applied to future research projects and I am very excited for that.” 2020 SEES Mosquito Mapper Intern The interaction of kids with their environment really set them up to feel like they were part of something big.” NESEC Library Partner Latest success stories STEM Enhancement in Earth Science High School Interns Shine at AGU Prachi Ingle and Matteo Kimura were high school research interns with the 2020 STEM Enhancement in Earth Science (SEES) Summer High School Intern Program’s Mosquito Mappers team.
