Office of Space Science and Education (OSSE) (OSSE)
From the archived website: The Office of Space Science and Education (OSSE) was dedicated to the belief that state and national STEM education goals could be achieved by sharing the excitement of new discoveries acquired through space exploration and earth remote sensing research. OSSE programs encompassed the multidisciplinary areas of space science including; earth systems science, atmospheric science, solar system exploration, and astronomy. OSSE engaged in community programs including, teacher professional development in earth and space science, K-12 student programs and science museum programs in partnership with state, national and international organizations including Europe and India. Programs and activities were supported by funds from NASA, NOAA, UW-Madison Baldwin Endowment, the Indo-US Science & Technology Forum (IUSSTF), and the European Space Agency (ESA).OSSE strongly emphasized partnerships between scientists and teachers in local, regional and international schools to develop standards-based programs that achieve the mutual objective of improving the level of literacy for STEM education.
