Last year, we were honored to bring you resources for an uncertain educational landscape, including professional development seminars and innovative resources for virtual learning solutions. We’re thrilled to have worked with incredible educators across the country to provide what you’ve come to expect from EiE programs: adaptable, engaging resources that inspire STEM literacy in learners of all ages.

What is Solstice?

Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year in the Northern hemisphere, falls on December 21st and marks the official start of the winter season.

Exciting news from the EiE team! We've been accepted to present our design principles for inclusivity at this year's American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting - a global, virtual conference for Earth and Space Science professionals.
