Local Connections

BSES was created by educators for educators.

Science isn't somewhere else. It's happening right here in El Paso.

BSES connects teachers with the scientists, researchers, organizations, and educators doing incredible work throughout our region — and gives them ideas, resources, and connections they can take back to their classrooms.

Meet the people. Experience the science. Bring it back to your students.
