The SEE internship program offers a cross-disciplinary research experience for high school students, through which they learn the power of the scientific approach. Learn more about the 2023 high school interns and their experience.
ESORE is a 6-week program developed by SEE for high school students to get outside, connect with current environmental science, and meet professionals in the environmental field. The experience involved 50 virtual high school students in 2022 and 12 in-person high school students in 2023.
In 2021, we launched a Systems Thinkers in STEM Ambassadorship (STiSA). Between November 2021 and June 2022, we showcased 45 Ambassadors on our website, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. These students completed projects such as STiSA profiles, STEM professional interviews, and environmental projects/human health projects. This program and others continue! Peruse Featured Student Projects and projects that were highlighted as part of the STiSA Showcase.
Through Systems Education Experiences (SEE), we have developed and disseminated nine curriculum modules and have five more in development. All modules work toward helping students internalize interdisciplinary STEM concepts and the skills of research and systems biology.
SEE is building systems medicine curriculum course to integrate science and technology to optimize current health and future wellness for individuals and communities.
We have created a “Systems Thinkers in STEM” video interview series featuring STEM professionals from a wide range of STEM and healthcare careers. These videos serve to provide students and educators with the opportunity to connect to real-world STEM careers and learn how systems thinking plays a role in all STEM career pathways.
During the summer of 2020, 42 rising 12th-grade students used their quarantine time to learn how computational modeling can be used to solve complex problems. Students designed and completed projects related to computational modeling with the online guidance of scientists, programmers, and educators within or connected to SEE at ISB. Students and scientists continue to add projects to these pages and we encourage YOU to also add new resources to this series! Get started by freely accessing and learning from projects through our Gaining Insight through Systems Thinking and Computational Modeling website.
