Middle and Secondary

Science as taught at the middle and high school levels is still being presented as a collection of discrete subjects, whereas understanding and solving the problems we face today requires interdisciplinary methodologies that are not yet widely perceived.

The scientist of the next century must be fluent with the complex systems concepts and modeling and simulation technologies emerging at the junction of computer science and historically discrete disciplines. SFI programs are addressing this need at its root, with education programs designed to foster a regard for complex adaptive systems.
