On May 10, 2025, the U.S. National Science Foundation commemorates its 75th anniversary.

Since 1950, NSF has invested in ideas and innovations across all fields of science and engineering. We invite you to join a year of events and activities across the U.S. that showcase NSF-powered research and how it has powered the economy and touched everyone's lives. 

Visit www.nsf.gov/75years regularly for updates and invitations to join the commemoration online and in your community.

Join the National Informal STEM Education Network (NISE) as they explore the importance of relevance in STEM learning experiences. This workshop will start with an introduction to the principles of relevance, sharing strategies found to be successful during a study of place-based learning in the NISE Network's STEM Learning Ecosystems project. NISE will then talk about the process of how to approach your community and find out what is truly relevant to your audiences.
