PENGUIN
PENGUIN modules provide a computational framework to allow students to work actively with polar research and data through conduct guided inquiry. Working through a Jupyter Notebook or Excel Sheet, students analyze polar research and data: creating figures, performing calculations, asking questions, and thinking critically about what the data shows. The modules are designed for courses in Economics, Computer Science, Physics, Quantum Mechanics, Thermodynamics, and Environmental Science Tools and Methods, from intro to advanced. SERC provided website support and hosting as well as support for the project's webinars.

Geoscience Education Infrastructure Planning Meeting
This meeting was an opportunity for invited education community members to discuss and make recommendations for the infrastructure that supports the geoscience education community, including the technical platform (Serckit) and the complementary suite of practices spanning from project management to community engagement. The result was a synthesis report that reflects the discussions and highlights a set of consensus recommendations.

National Institute for Faculty Equity
Minorities and women, minority women in particular, are underrepresented in academia, even more so in the STEM disciplines: science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Members of these underrepresented groups represent an untapped resource. The National Institute for Faculty Equity seeks to address this persistent problem, in part by institutionalizing the professional development and career success of women and minorities in STEM. This website offers resources for underrepresented faculty in engineering, including presentations and from the Minority Faculty Development workshops and the Cross-Disciplinary Initiative for Minority Women Faculty conference. SERC hosts the project's materials as well as provided a web platform for project personnel to use for annual events.
