The Network of Educators in Science and Technology (NEST) is a member driven organization open to graduates of MIT's Science and Engineering Program for Teachers (SEPT).
After the successful completion of the very first Science and Engineering Program for Teachers (SEPT) in 1989, its participants organized themselves into the New England Science Teachers, a unique fellowship of teachers who remain linked to MIT and who believe in the importance of its work to promote science literacy. To reflect its national growth, this group was renamed the Network of Educators in Science and Technology (NEST).
