About Programs
SEPAL offers a variety of science partnership programs with SFUSD and Northern San Mateo County school districts.

Semester-long partnerships between elementary, middle or high school teachers and SFSU science undergraduate and graduate students.
Spectrum

Spectrum brings together women scientists of all ages together — SFSU undergraduate students, SFSU Masters students, SFSU alumni in local doctoral and biotechnology positions, SFSU Faculty, and middle and high school students and teachers. SFSU Spectrum scientists collaborate to learn and share their knowledge about the biology behind women’s health issues and current research being conducted by women biomedical researchers of color.
SEPAL Teaching Assistantships (SEPAL TA)
Year-long partnerships between middle or high school science teachers and SFSU science graduate students. Partnership teams work together to create inquiry-based science lessons.
