Extended Group Members

In addition to our Core Group Members, many talented individuals ranging from students to faculty participate in Education Group activities. These colleagues – our Extended Group Members – are often actively involved in their own science education outreach, development, innovation, and research. This page highlights the Education Group’s Extended Group Members and their many interesting ongoing projects and initiatives in science education.

Extended membership in the Education Group is entirely voluntary. Please contact us to be included here as an Extended Member.
