Communities

If you are a community leader who has experienced SEE and would like to begin to implement the principals of using Science in Everyday Experiences, this section is for you. Our goal is to create a SEE without walls, so if you are doing a community event such as a health or science fair or a community block party, or if you are in charge of a children's group or plan to do some work with parents in the community, we want to make sure you have the tools you need to incorporate SEE into your community events.

The navigation bar at left will take you to the following resources.
