  • The Howard Hughes Medical Institute is a philanthropy that supports biomedical research and science education. As part of its mission to strengthen science education, the Institute presents the Holiday Lectures on Science—an annual series that brings the latest developments in a rapidly moving field of research to an audience of high school students.

    During each lecture, the scientists answer questions from the students watching the talks. The videotapes also contain autobiographies of the lecturers, who discuss why they chose careers in science and what they enjoy most about their work.

  • The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, in cooperation with the Prince William Network, offers arts-based educational programming free to teachers and students across the country through the Performing Arts Series. Programs feature artists and companies who perform at the Kennedy Center and explore the areas of music, dance, theater, and literature.

  • NASA Educational Television is designed to bring math and science presentations to the K-12 audience.  The shows are upbeat and engaging and stress critical thinking skills.  Programs will sometimes feature interviews with engineers and scientists.  Since educational programming shares this channel with NASA public relations programming, regularly scheduled educational programming will be preempted by NASA administrators to show events such as briefings, congressional hearings and managed news feeds.
