JASON Project

The JASON Project's approach to science education immerses students in real-world situations where they are mentored by scientists from organizations like NASA, NOAA, the U.S. Department of Energy, and parent company National Geographic Society.

JASON creates these connections using educational games, videos, live interactivity and social networking to embed its partners' research in the curriculum.

The JASON Project was started in 1989 by Dr. Robert Ballard, the oceanographer who discovered the wreck of the RMS Titanic.

[1] The JASON Foundation for Education was founded in 1990 as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization to administer the project.

[3] The JASON curricula are available in print and free online, aligned to national and state standards.
