At Battelle, we believe in leveraging all our assets in order to bring STEM education to all the communities in which we work and live. That is why we wholly support the education initiatives at the seven national laboratories we manage or co-manage for the U.S. Department of Energy and Department of Homeland Security. People at these facilities engage directly with students and teachers on a continuous basis to give them access to facilities that are like no others in the world.
