The NISE Network brings people together to engage in STEM, understand our world, and build a better future for everyone.
We create and share products, practices, and materials with partner organizations across the country.
Our resources
are available to everyone for free download from nisenet.org.
Hundreds of organizations participate in the NISE Network, including museums and universities.
Our community
includes educators, researcher/evaluators,
and scientists.
Partner organizations use Network resources to engage learners in their communities.
Local use
brings people together to share and learn from each other.
Together we reach millions of people each year!
Our impact
grows through the efforts of our partner organizations.
We are committed to diversity, equity, accessibility, inclusion, and belonging (DEAIB).
Strategies include prioritizing local collaborations, using best practices in our projects and products, and supporting network partners’ efforts through professional development.
Network projects tackle challenging problems and develop knowledge, tools, and practices.
Relationships,
knowledge, and infrastructure support all our activities.
