JASON Science. Education through exploration. The JASON Project connects students with great explorers and great events to inspire and motivate them to learn science. Our award winning curricula: Embed cutting-edge research from NASA, NOAA, the U.S. Department of Energy, the National Geographic Society and other leading organizations. Allow leading scientists to work side by side with JASON students. Challenge students to apply their knowledge to the real-world scenarios scientists face every day. Available for free in the JASON Mission Center, our online games and digital labs capture students’ attention and sustain their interestJASON games and digital labs are designed with the practical realties of the classroom in mind. Teachers can search for games and labs by state standards in the JASON Mission Center Web site, where you will also find worksheets and handouts.

- The Operation: Resilient Planet Game In this immersive 3D experience, students assist JASON Host Researchers like Dr. Bob Ballard in solving real-world ecological issues. Using scientific inquiry, along with instruments and procedures mirroring those of the researchers, students aim for the best score on our JASON Leaderboard. Your class will be talking about this exciting experience for weeks!
- Coaster Creator. Have you ever ridden a roller coaster and thought “Hmmm, I think I could design a better one?” Well now is your chance! Using your knowledge of potential and kinetic energy, create a roller coaster that delivers the most thrills, yet still remains safe for the passengers. This digital lab, from Operation: Infinite Potential, explores the effects of rapid energy transfers and transformations.
- StormTracker A hurricane is approaching the U.S. coastline, what should residents do? In StormTracker, it’s up to JASON students to accurately predict the path and intensity of hurricanes barreling towards shore. Using real tropical storm data, and hosted by Operation: Monster Storms Host Researcher Jason Dunion, this lab gives students the hands-on experience of playing the role of storm-tracker. In addition, students can reach for the top score in the JASON Leaderboard!
- Mini Labs Mini labs are brief online activities that can be done by students as they review content, or collaborate with a teacher demonstrating to a classroom. Created in close collaboration with content experts, these interactives are designed to bring illustrations and concepts from the textbook “to life.” Thoughtful animations, meaningful interactions, and beautiful footage from National Geographic peerlessly harness the power of digital learning.
