 HFF IMPLEMENTING DIVISIONS AND CAMPAIGNS

GT/GSGC serves as the H-SETA Academic Flagship University Hub, and facilitates Student scholarships, fellowships and internships.
GSGC/GT interfaces and interchanges with regional academic and industrial participants (Nodes), which in turn may support and interface with multiple local organizational entities (Clusters).

The Mercer SEI Lab provides the  K-12 STEM Teacher and Student Education, Training, and Outreach component for students ranging from grades 3-23.

SEIL develops STEM teacher pedagogy and both informal and formal STEM curriculum, closely aligned with Georgia and national Science and technology Standards.

The SEI Lab coordinates and conducts STEM student and organizational training and outreach engagement via a number of activities and events, including technology innovation and integration, research experiences for K-12 students, informal STEM learning, and STEM curriculum development.
