Our Vision To ignite passion for science and learning in youth and empower them to use knowledge and technology creatively to meet the challenges of tomorrow.

15-Oct-08 3 JP Offerings The School Network Program invites qualified underserved schools to apply for two-year grants that provide computer hardware and software, internet connectivity and related services, educational resources, and future planning guidance. Throughout the lifecycle of the grant, SEED works with its network schools to ensure the continuity of the program objectives and activities after the grant expires. Educational Programs offer students and educators in SEED network schools online activities and projects as well as hands-on workshops using a project-based, Learning While Doing (LWD) approach. These experiences foster teamwork and understanding among learners and mentors within a single school or among different schools in one or more countries. The Online Science Center provides a broad range of educational resources and opportunities to learners and educators in seven languages – Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish. It also offers access to Schlumberger experts who answer questions about projects and activities. Learning Materials include ready-to-go SEED experiments, activities, and articles from the Online Science Center, which can be used in a classroom setting or almost anywhere.
