ERAscience's commitment to cutting edge research in the area of energy has led to a natural collaboration with one of the world's preeminent physics institutes, Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics. Internationally regarded scientist Prof. Stephen Hawking holds the position of PI Distinguished Research Chair and is passionate about PI's work. The goal of our collaboration is to inspire and nurture future scientist. It is our combined belief that exposing undeserved and inner-city youth to complicated science material, in a fun engaging way, opens the doors to greater economic and intellectual opportunities in their future. ERAscience and Perimeter outreach will begin teacher training of the curriculum in Los Angeles the first week of December 2015. If you are a physics teacher in South Los Angeles and are interested in attending this training please contact us.
ERAscience.org is proud to announce partnership with Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics
