The Bay Area Earth Science Institute (BAESI) was founded in 1990 for pre-college science teachers in the San Francisco Bay Area. BAESI promotes earth science, with its multi-disciplinary approach and relevance to everyday life, as a powerful tool for attracting more students, particularly under-represented students, to the sciences. The program includes a summer workshop, follow-up field trips and seminars, one-day workshops, opportunities to serve as a paid intern at the United States Geological Survey in Menlo Park, and other learning opportunities and resources for teaching earth science. Other materials include general information about BAESI programs as well as links to course websites and earth science lesson plans.
