The Partnership is funded by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and the Jack M. Berry Fund for Science Education, and consists of the following four programs. For more information, click as directed in the program descriptions. We strongly encourage teachers whose students are members of groups traditionally underrepresented in science to use the opportunities provided by the Partnership to expose their students to career options in science. The students learn science information and inquiry skills as they ask questions, do experiments, analyze data and draw conclusions over the course of a school year.
Partners stay in close contact through classroom visits, lab visits, and via a private web page.

Students work after school and full time in the summer as they learn science information, practice inquiry skills, and try out the life of scientist. Teachers can click here for more information.
