Our Partners 

GNOSI was initiated through a generous grant from Shell Exploration & Production Company. Shell joined with the New

 Orleans School System, the National Sciences Resources   Center of the National Academies and the Smithsonian Institution to implement significant scientific and technological improvements in the education of K-12 students in the region.  Shell and its allies have strongly advocated enhancing and advancing the science, math and engineering curriculum to encourage students to enter these fields of study. 

Though generous foundation and corporate funders, Core Element has been the recipient of several grants that have enabled us to continue our efforts to provide opportunities for improving STEM education of children of the Greater New Orleans Region.

Without the assistance of Shell and our partners, we would have been unable to gain a footing in local public schools and all of the tangible results we have seen from our efforts here would be nonexistent. Core Element thanks Shell, The National Science Resources Center for their dedication to improving the education and welfare of the students of the Greater New Orleans region!
