Athena is a partnership of educators and scientists. Classroom teachers and scientists work together to create Athena materials, which are tested in real classrooms. Lessons are designed to improve scientific literacy and generate lifelong interest in science. These materials align with Washington State standards and complement existing curricula. Athena is a living project ready for teachers and students to add new lessons that suit their needs.
