	Schlumberger Excellence in Educational Development Sharing Science Education and Technology with Teachers and Students around the World

SEED is a volunteer-based, nonprofit education program focused on underserved communities where Schlumberger people live and work. SEED empowers employee-volunteers and educators—including teachers, parents and other mentors—to share their passion for learning and science with students aged 10-18. The SEED learning-while-doing (LWD) methodology draws on the technology and science expertise of our volunteers to engage students in global issues, such as water, energy and climate change.

Our Vision

To ignite passion for science and learning in youth and empower them to use knowledge and technology creatively to meet the challenges of tomorrow

Our Mission

To inspire, influence, and enable educators in underserved communities where Schlumberger people live and work to engage youth in topics related to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). This will be achieved by building learning communities and knowledge-sharing environments in which students, educators, and volunteers collaborate on projects in their local languages.

Our Programs

The School Network Program invites qualified underserved schools to apply for two-year grants that provide computer hardware and software, Internet connectivity and related services, educational resources, and future planning guidance. Throughout the life cycle of the grant, SEED works with its network schools to ensure the continuity of the program once the grant expires.

Educational Programs offer hands-on teacher training STEM workshops and online activities using a project-based approach. These experiences foster teamwork and understanding among teachers and students within a single school or among different schools and countries.

The Online Science Center provides a broad range of STEM-based resources and opportunities to learners and educators in seven languages–Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish. It also offers access to Schlumberger experts who answer questions about projects and activities.

Learning Materials include ready-to-go SEED experiments, activities, and articles from the Online Science Center, which can be used in a classroom setting or just about anywhere. 

SEED—An Expression of Service and Spirit

SEED is a proud and integral expression of the global Schlumberger service culture. The program taps into the passion of Schlumberger people for science and learning, and encourages personal outreach to benefit youth around the world. In this way, thanks to our dedicated Schlumberger volunteers, SEED serves the higher purpose of building connections and understanding among the world’s diverse individuals and communities.
