The NASA Indigenous Community-Based Education (CBE) Program
NASA’s Indigenous Community-Based Education is a consortium of partnerships between NASA and numerous, diverse Tribal Nations and Indigenous communities which co-create unique educational programs for the youth in each community. These programs bring Indigenous Knowledge and Western STEM together in a community-based way to support the development of learners’ cultural and STEM identities. Collectively, we also build and nurture professional networks and communities of practice at the interface of Indigenous Knowledge and Western STEM, catalyze culture change and new policy within NASA toward more equitable and just practices in the process of science, and mentor the next generation of Indigenous scientists and leaders.
