Welcome to the Open Science Network, an NSF-funded project that provides a collaborative forum for educators and students to create a new paradigm of science education. The purpose of this project is to create new curriculum and new ways of development that will keep the learning fresh, innovative, and engaging to each generation of students.
What makes this innovative? An Open philosophy approach encourages everyone, regardless of level of experience, to contribute and uses an open-group evaluation model that continues to develop educational resources as they are used and shared through the network.
How can you get involved? When you register for WiserEarth, you will have access to all discussions and have the opportunity to be involved in the conversations as we continue to develop the project. How to register? See the link at the top of this page.
