AISES Virtual Science Community
Support provided through the Innovation Generation Grant by the Motorola Foundation
The Innovation Generation grant supports technological growth for AISES Pre-College programs and events through webcasting live from NAISEF and the creation of an online Virtual Science Community (VSC). The Virtual Science Community showcases student research to a broader audience and creates additional student access to resources, mentors, and networking within the larger scientific community. The VSC enables students to use interactive tools to foster greater interaction, dialogue, and innovation in STEM research.
