Center for Education

Are we alone in the Universe? Is there life beyond Earth?

How can we search for evidence of life in our Solar System and beyond? These questions motivate people to learn about our natural world, and are at the core of our Center for Education. The Center promotes STEM education through NASA- and NSF-funded programs aimed at teaching and inspiring children, young adults and educators with emphasis on space sciences and astrobiology.

SETI Institute

Scientists are getting closer in their search for life beyond earth. But with limited federal funding for the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, supporters are the reason cutting-edge scientists can keep their eyes on the sky.
