(The
JASON Project is a middle school science curriculum
program that is designed to motivate and inspire students to
pursue interests and careers in science, technology, engineering
and mathematics. The
JASON Project's approach to science education immerses
students in challenging, real-world situations where they are
connected with – and mentored by – top scientists from
organizations like NASA, NOAA, U.S. Energy Department and parent
company National Geographic Society. JASON creates these
connections using multiple technologies – including educational
games, videos, live interactivity and social networking – to
embed its partners' cutting-edge research in rigorous
curricula.)
