What is JASON?

Great Explorers and Great Events

Have you ever imagined flying directly into a hurricane? Or submerging into the darkest depths of Earth’s oceans?

Have you ever wanted to join a real science mission, or create your own video for a global online science fair?

Welcome to The JASON Project, your gateway to adventure.

A nonprofit subsidiary of the National Geographic Society, JASON connects young students with great explorers and great events to inspire and motivate them to learn science. Its core curriculum units are designed for 5th – 8th grade classrooms but are flexible enough to be adapted for higher or lower grades.*
