Igniting Curiosity
SESE is training the next generation of explorers and citizen scientists. We engage the minds of our students, and by making our research and innovation available to all, we also engage the minds of our community. Through a variety of informal science education and public outreach (E/PO) activities, teacher workshops, and partnerships with local schools, we are increasing the science literacy of our community. Visit our events page for a complete list of activities that will ignite your curiosity.
Facilities, Museums and Activities
Groups interested in visiting a SESE center or museum should schedule a tour as many of our facilities have limits on how many visitors can be accommodated. For your convenience a SESE Walking Tour Map is now available.
