JASON Argonaut Program

Each year students and teachers around the world compete for the privilege of becoming JASON Argonauts. Those selected travel to exciting research locations and work side-by-side with scientists and engineers, many of whom they’ve come to know through JASON curricula. In doing so, they are the eyes and ears of their peers back home, experiencing real scientific research and sharing those experiences with the entire JASON community. JASON Learning, with generous support from the Argonaut Program's sponsors, covers expenses for all related lodging, food, programming, and equipment costs. Since 1990, JASON’s Argonaut program has engaged over 500 students and educators worldwide. Many Argonaut Alumni have gone on to pursue degrees and careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Argonauts are named for the crew of explorers that sailed aboard the Argo with Jason, the mythological Greek hero.
