The Mississippi Science Partnership (MSP) is a novel collaboration established in 1990 between the Mississippi Department of Education, Jackson State University and Hughes Aircraft Corporation. By maximizing the assets of a state school system, a state university with a profound dedication to urban education and research, and a major corporation, the Partnership pioneered efforts in public-private investments in education. The Partnership’s vision is to improve the teaching and learning of mathematics and science throughout the state of Mississippi. It brings the latest results of educational research and state-of-the-art technologies into the classroom. As a part of its Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Outreach Programs, MSP has been organizing and implementing workshops for teachers for the past 20 years.
