support for math and science education
As a company that utilizes technology and innovation in every element of its business, ExxonMobil recognizes the essential role that proficiency in math and science plays in the energy business, and in facilitating human progress more generally. We believe it is fundamentally important to encourage new generations to pursue studies and careers in fields involving math and science.
ExxonMobil has a long history of supporting educational programs that focus on improvements in these areas from pre-school through higher education.
the need to improve math and science education
American students today are underperforming in math and science, and too many math and science teachers do not have the benefit of strong content knowledge and training specific to the subjects that they teach.
National Math and Science Initiative (NMSI)
NMSI is a non-profit entity, overseen by a board of eminent persons in the field of math and science education, created to raise funds to facilitate the national scale-up of programs which have demonstrated improvement in math and science education in the U.S.
Mickelson ExxonMobil Teachers Academy
The Mickelson ExxonMobil Teachers Academy — a joint initiative between ExxonMobil and Phil and Amy Mickelson — trains teachers of third through fifth graders in innovative teaching methods and "hands-on" applications of math and science.
Bernard Harris Summer Science Camps
These two-week residential camps offer innovative programs which enhance middle school students’ knowledge in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) while encouraging youth to stay in school and fostering leadership and citizenship.
diversity and international initiatives
ExxonMobil works to ensure that access to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education is made available, particularly to women and minorities in the United States.
