Educational Websites

  • Howard Hughes Medical Institute
    An online resource center for scientists, educators, parents, and students, you'll find links to resources developed by HHMI, HHMI grantees, and others. These resources include research summaries of HHMI scientists, opportunities for research training and professional development, online learning, and exciting interactive experiences for learning about science.
  • Journey North
    An online resource center for scientists, educators, parents, and students, Journey North is a global study of wildlife migration and seasonal change. Widely considered a best-practices model for education, Journey North is the nation's premiere "citizen science" project for children.
  • Mars Student Imaging Project (MSIP)
    NASA and Arizona State University's Mars Education Program is offering students nationwide the opportunity to be involved in authentic Mars research by participating in the Mars Student Imaging Project (MSIP). Teams of students in grades 5 through college sophomore level will have the opportunity to work with scientists, mission planners and educators on the THEMIS team at ASU's Mars Space Flight Facility, to image a site on Mars using the THEMIS visible wavelength camera onboard the Mars Odyssey spacecraft which is currently orbiting Mars every 2 hours.
