Similar Activities in the US Involving Engineers, Mathematicians and Scientists in the Classroom

There are other activities ongoing around the country with goals very similar to the Santa Fe Alliance for Science. These include:

Non-Governmental Efforts

Efforts at Department of Energy Labs

These organizations focus primarily on two aspects: professional development for teachers, and structured lecture format activities for kids. The latter might include "saturday schools" or visits to on-site museums (e.g. the Lawrence Berkeley Hall of Science, or the prairie at Fermilab).
