Curiosity starts early. Opportunity should too.
SEG’s K–12 and outreach programs introduce students to the real-world applications of geoscience—connecting classroom learning to careers that shape energy, environment, exploration, and innovation.
Through interactive programs, mentorship experiences, and school partnerships, SEG helps young students discover what lies beneath the surface—and imagine their place in the future of science
Why Outreach Matters
Many students encounter physics, earth science, and mathematics without ever seeing how those subjects translate into real-world impact.
SEG outreach programs help students:
- Discover how geophysics supports energy, climate, water, and natural hazard solutions
- Engage with practicing scientists and industry professionals
- Explore STEM pathways they may not have considered
- Build confidence through real-world exposure
For educators and schools, SEG programs provide meaningful connections between curriculum and application—bringing science to life in engaging and accessible ways.
Our K–12 Programs
Applied Sciences Educational Program (ASEP)
Bringing applied geoscience directly into high school classrooms.
ASEP partners with selected high schools each year to deliver immersive, real-world presentations and interactive learning experiences. Students explore topics ranging from deep sea exploration to space missions to extreme geophysics—all led by professionals working in the field.
A Commitment to the Future
SEG’s outreach initiatives are made possible through collaboration with sponsors, volunteers, educators, and members who are committed to strengthening the geoscience pipeline.
By investing in students early, we:
- Expand access to applied science education
- Strengthen industry–academia connections
- Encourage diversity of thought and background in geoscience
- Inspire the next generation of scientific leaders
The Future Starts with Exposure
When students see how science is applied in the real world—how data reveals what lies beneath the surface, how exploration drives innovation—they begin to imagine themselves as part of that story.
SEG outreach programs exist to spark that moment.
