Submit your application to join the Advisory Committee of the Network for Emergent Socio-Scientific Thinking

In June 2021, the Smithsonian Science Education Center (SSEC) formed the inaugural Advisory Committee for NESST, The Network for Emergent Socio-Scientific Thinking. Together this Advisory Committee designed a roadmap for a network made up of Advisors from a variety of backgrounds, geographic locations, disciplines, years of experience, genders, and ages in order to form a group that represents the diversity necessary for STEM Education for Sustainable Development in the 21st Century and beyond. As this first Committee’s term comes to a close, and some Advisors are rotating off, there are have a few openings on the committee, and SSEC seeks enthusiastic, committed professionals from all fields to fill these openings.

The 2022-2023 Advisory Committee will work together to continue to build an emergent network based on the key areas of focus that were defined by the 2021-2022 Advisory Committee: Engaging Youth, Growing the Network, Scholarship & Research, Resources & Curricular Materials, and NESST as a Professional Learning Community.  To carry out this work, SSEC seeks advisors from a variety of disciplines, backgrounds, geographic locations and ages who share a dedication to supporting young people to tackle the world’s most pressing issues through the lens of inquiry-based STEM education (IBSE).
