learn@sfi: Inspiring 21st Century Scientists and Citizens to Explore a Complex World
Learn@sfi is a coherent series of schools, fellowships, content material and other outreach activities aimed at educating the next generation of scientists and citizens. Since 1984, SFI’s leadership role in multidisciplinary research has provided the foundation for educational and outreach programs that challenge the next generation’s brightest scholars and inspire the broader population to think critically about the complex problems facing science and society today.
Learn@sfi empowers students, educators and citizens to understand the complex, interacting systems that make up the world around us. Programs for students of all ages and backgrounds prepare today’s scientists, inspire new communities, improve pedagogical methods, and build the foundation for systemic, long-term change in science education.
"The core problem is that our education and training systems were built for another era. We can get where we must go only by changing the system itself."
