Overall Mission
Overall Mission
To highlight and celebrate progress in science, scientists, and awareness of different scientific discoveries and careers in the SASE community.
Guidelines of Science Week Participation
Chapters must participate in at least two days, but are highly encouraged to participate in as many days/themes as possible.
Share your event photos, posters, infographics, or videos on social media to highlight best practices and important knowledge. Use the hashtag #SASEScienceWeek2025 and tag @sasescience on Instagram to be featured on our social media pages!
Engage with other SASE chapters across the country! Use the hashtag to find other chapters. Like, comment, and repost!
Changes to Science Week 2025
Changes to Science Week 2025
SASE Science Initiative recognizes that each chapter has different science representation and approaches to celebrating it. This year, Science Week is restructuring to make it easier for all chapters to celebrate science in the way that suits them best. We hope to achieve this through the following methods:
Choose Your Own Adventure
In previous years, we had different themes specified for each day of Science Week. This year, we want to offer general categories and allow the chapters to choose when to do which categories. This year’s categories are: Community Spotlights, Education, Public Awareness, Careers in Science & Fun Activities. See more information on specific recommendations for our Categories on [pages] in this guide.
Vision Boards
We know this change might be confusing, so we want to offer sample vision boards to how a chapter might organize their weeks. Chapters are welcome to use these vision boards as-is, modify them, or not follow them at all! See more information on our vision boards in this guide.
Across Time and Space
We know it can be challenging to host so many events in one single week. We encourage chapters to host science-based events throughout the whole year and use Science Week as an opportunity to highlight those events, even if they weren’t physically held during Science Week. Additionally, we encourage chapters to explore all types of posts for Science Week, whether they are event photos, posters, infographics, videos, or more!
