Education Home
 
The CenSSIS K-12 program has been designed and implemented in partnership with the Center for STEM Education http://www.stem.neu.edu/ .  The K-12 Education Outreach program involves teachers and their students in a variety of activities.  Developmentally appropriate activities have been selected for each target population with an emphasis on fostering an interest in science and engineering before high school.  This is important because children begin to make decisions on what they will study in high school and college in middle school.
