The Jhumki Basu Foundation sponsors the following programs to carry on her work through generous
donations of her well-wishers:
Sci-Ed Fellowship: An accredited program to engage and support New York middle- and high-school
science teachers from underserved schools in applying and furthering the development of the Democratic
Science Teaching Framework, initially conceived by Dr. Jhumki Basu. Fellows participate in a year-long
experience that include in-person meetings and online collaboration. Activities include discussion about the
Framework and richness of its content, as well as development lessons and case examples of application
of the Framework in their classrooms. Fellows demonstrate their applications of the Framework at the
annual Sci-Ed Innovators Expo. More details at www.sci-ed.net.
Sci-Ed Innovators Expo and Symposium: An annual event, co-sponsored with New York University, brings
together science teachers, researchers, students, policy makers, corporations and foundations to share
innovative teaching methods for under-served schools. Each event is keynoted by a transformational
speaker who has worked in making science exciting to youth.
New York University: A landmark STEME Education and Research Center whose mission is to provide
leadership in STEME education locally and globally through research, development, and collaboration. The
Center will build and foster partnerships to reach learners of all ages through joint ventures with families,
communities, schools, advocates, cultural institutions, business leaders, policy-makers, diplomats, NGOs,
CBOs, and government agencies.
Stanford University: The annual Jhumki Basu Lecture Series in Science and Adventure features renowned
researchers in scientific fields, especially wildlife, conservation and exploration
Knowles Science Teacher Foundation: The library at KSTF has been renamed the Jhumki Basu Science
Library following donation of her innumerable textbooks and teaching materials
Castilleja School, Palo Alto: Continuing sponsorship for low-income children to the Peninsula Bridge
Science Discovery Program and for the Jhumki Basu Memorial Garden
School for Democracy and Leadership and Renaissance Charter School, New York: The Jhumki Basu
Annual Science Fair and the Jhumki Basu Science Scholarship
National Association for Research in Science and Technology: The annual NARST Equity in Education
dinner is held annually in Jhumki’s honor.
The American Educational Research Association: The AERA Special Interest Group on Equity in Science
Education has been renamed the Jhumki Basu SIG on Equity in Science Education.
Textbook: Democratic Science Teaching, a textbook based on Jhumki's writings, video interviews and data
analyses, with co-authors, Angela Calabrese Barton and Edna Tan, has been released by Sense
