Our Vision
Since 2011, the team of scientists and teachers of ESN have partnered to create novel science teaching models based on experimental biology.
To enable and energize secondary science educators to train the next generation of scientists through experiential scientific research.
To support Stan-X efforts in engaging diverse high school students, guided by trained teachers, in authentic laboratory research.
To create scholastic environments that foster, mentor and support teachers in conducting genuine experiments and inspiring students to contribute to the community of science.
“The Discover Now (Stan-X) course is intense, covering a mindboggling amount of material over five days... but it was super rewarding. The instructors for the course were informative and patient, reminding me of some of the best teachers I have had over my career. The time I invested in the training has given information and skills that I will use years from now.”
— Robert Smullen, teacher, from the Commack High School (New York)
