Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory is a high-energy physics laboratory, home of the world's most powerful particle accelerator, the Tevatron. Scientists from across the U.S. and around the world use Fermilab's resources in experiments to explore the most basic particles and forces of nature.

Fermilab has an abiding commitment to enhancing mathematics and science education and stimulating science literacy. Laboratory education programs serve students from prekindergarten to graduate research scientists in training, giving special emphasis throughout to underrepresented groups. Fermilab also brings an international science education program to students and teachers in Latin American countries.

These programs are sponsored by Fermilab and Fermilab Friends for Science Education and are funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, the National Science Foundation, the U.S. Deparment of Education, the State of Illinois Department of Education and various private foundations and individuals.
