Science Education Solutions (SCIEDS) is a woman-owned research and development company invested in promoting science and technology literacy for learners of all ages. Launched in 2004, the company has been successful in attracting a talented and motivated staff for a variety of projects. From curriculum development and creating games for learning to customizing informal science programs for the needs and interests of teens, we seek to make learning engaging and rewarding.
Our work is funded primarily through competitive grants from the National Science Foundation. We also receive funding from the New Mexico Department of Education and Northern New Mexico College.
Our not-for-profit sister organization, the Institute for Science Education New Mexico assists SCIEDS in dissemination of our most successful programs. The Institute for Science Education New Mexico works in collaboration with SCIEDS to ensure that our products and programs are accessible to all those interested. Through technology transfer agreements, the Institute publishes our curriculum, markets and distributes the NEXUS games, and provides professional development for users of the materials. The Institute raises funds through corporate and private charities to support the start of new Teen Science Cafés.
Together SCIEDS and the Institute are advancing STEM education for all.
