Vetted resources for science and literacy in Georgia.

Professional organization for science teachers, with classroom resources, standards guidance, and professional development.

Why it is here: A primary national source for vetted, standards-aligned science teaching materials.

Defends the integrity of science education, with resources on teaching evolution and climate change accurately.

Why it is here: Directly supports integrity in how science is taught, a core part of our mission.

Official Georgia Standards of Excellence for science, plus state curriculum guidance.

Why it is here: The authoritative source for what Georgia students are expected to learn in science.

Statewide association supporting Georgia science teachers, with position statements and professional resources.

Why it is here: A Georgia-based professional voice for rigorous, evidence-based science instruction.

An exploration of Georgia's natural history, from 500 million year old trilobites in northwest Georgia, through the dinosaurs of west Georgia, the whales of central and east Georgia, and the mammoths, mastodons, and giant sloths of the coast and south. The site includes an education section with presentation material prepared for classrooms, and an associated Facebook group connects amateur collectors with professionals who help identify finds.

Why it is here: It ties evolution and deep time to specific Georgia localities, which gives students and teachers evidence they can place in their own county rather than an abstraction from a textbook.

Free, standards-aligned STEM lessons, activities, and multimedia from NASA.

Why it is here: High-quality, freely available classroom materials from a primary scientific institution.

Free video lessons and practice across biology, chemistry, physics, and more.

Why it is here: Widely used, free, and well-structured for self-paced study and clarification.

The statewide FIRST Robotics affiliate, running FIRST LEGO League, FIRST Tech Challenge, and FIRST Robotics Competition programs for students from elementary through high school, with events, team support, and mentoring pathways.

Why it is here: The most established route into competitive robotics in Georgia, with reach into rural and Title I schools where hands-on engineering is otherwise hard to access.

An Atlanta-based scholarship program for students in grades 9 through 11 who do not otherwise have access to robotics hardware. Selected scholars receive a Reachy Mini robot to keep, monthly mentorship sessions with engineers and educators, and a cohort that documents its work publicly. The Initiative also publishes a free self-paced course on evaluating AI output, AI-Epistemic Resilience. It is founded and run by a member of this organization.

Why it is here: Hardware and sustained mentorship are the two things most often missing where interest in engineering already exists, and this addresses both directly for Georgia students. The AI literacy course overlaps with the evidence-evaluation work in the section below.

Nonpartisan tools and lessons for telling credible information from misinformation.

Why it is here: Supports the evidence-evaluation skills at the heart of scientific literacy.
