The Students for the Exploration and Development of Space (SEDS) is the largest student run space organization extending to several countries, including a multitude of chapters across the United States. A key word in our organization’s name is “student”, which highlights our emphasis on continual education. We believe that students of all sorts are the future of this country and the space industry whether they become directly involved through their careers, or are simply cheering on a rocket launch from their living rooms. We want to help students learn, however we can. We are constantly realizing and creating new resources for education, and wish to make those available to you.
Resources for Students
Our various college chapters will have their own projects going (from doing research to building rockets) which we’d love for high school students to get involved in, and we are up to date with other competitions for both colleges and high schools (which can be found here). Some classroom resources include posters, handouts, notebook paper, presentations, podcasts on various space related topics, and much more. Since there are chapters across the country, there will often be members near your school that are willing to help out with science fairs, career days, or to simply work with students as a mentor. If there is any way you feel we could help, then we want to know. We will work directly with you to help further your students’ education in any way possible.
Resources for Chapters
Chapters: thank you for being so engaged in your educational outreach projects! We know that you are busy, and that it may be difficult to find time to brainstorm ideas, and then create the materials necessary to see them through. We do not want this to be an obstacle in your public outreach, and therefore have created a space where you can view ideas, and download materials, created by other chapters. Click here to browse through projects that other chapters have carried out, find those that interest you, and access their materials.
Other resources can be found at the. SEDS Wiki.
If you have any suggestions for resources you would like to see here, or have any of your own that you are willing to share, please do not hesitate to e-mail outreach@seds.org. Thank you; we wish you all the best in your projects!
