Ariel Anbar is an innovative scientist and educator focused on Earth's past and future evolution as an inhabited world, and the prospects for life beyond. In science, Anbar's research teams develop novel geochemical methods to study topics ranging from the chemical evolution of the atmosphere and oceans to human disease. In education, Anbar directs ASU's Center for Education Through Exploration, which designs, creates, and evaluates digital learning experiences that embrace exploration of the unknown, not just mastery of the known, by sparking curiosity, teaching the skills of exploration, and motivating through discovery. An author of more than 150 peer reviewed articles, Anbar was recognized as one of ten "Teaching Innovators" by the Chronicle of Higher Education in 2017.

Punya Mishra has worked extensively in the area of technology integration in teacher education, which led to the development (in collaboration with Dr. M. J. Koehler) of the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework, which has been described as being "the most significant advancement in the area of technology integration in the past 25 years."

The readers and editors of Technology and Learning journal named Mishra as one of the 10 most influential people in educational technology. He has received more than $7 million in grants, has published more than 90 articles and book chapters and has edited three books. Mishra is an award-winning instructor who teaches courses at both the masters and doctoral levels in the areas of educational technology, design, and creativity.

Technical Director, Science Education Resource Center; Carleton College

Sean Fox designs, builds, and runs the technical infrastructure that powers the web sites (like this one) which are central to most of SERC's activities. His approach to technical development starts with building an understanding of the real world problem he's trying to solve (e.g. how to facilitate information flow within a collaboration of busy faculty members, how to scaffold meaningful exploration of a large data set by students, how to coordinate the collection of student data from hundreds of classrooms). With this sensitivity to the problem in hand he draws from the full suite of technologies to craft robust solutions that empower and endure.
