Meet the Team
Our Alumni, Open Science, Consultation, and Development Team collaborate to democratize access to scientific knowledge, ensuring that everyone can contribute to Open Science.
The SCHOOL project is an ambitious and innovative initiative designed to advance education in the field of data science, specifically within the context of NASA’s Earth Science Applied Sciences Program. This project is not just another online learning platform; it represents a comprehensive effort to democratize access to scientific knowledge and foster a new generation of learners equipped to tackle some of the most pressing challenges in Earth Science.
Vision Behind
SCHOOL was conceived with the idea of bridging the gap between complex scientific research and accessible, practical education. At its core, it is about making the intricate processes of Data Science and Earth Science not only understandable but also engaging and relevant to a broad audience. The project’s guiding principle is to ensure that everyone, regardless of their background or prior experience, can participate in and contribute to the world of Open Science.
