The Center for Excellence in Education (CEE) was founded in 1983 with the intention of nurturing careers of excellence and leadership in science and technology in young scholars as an essential investment into America's global future. CEE's programs help keep the US competitive in science and technology, furthering international collaboration among leaders of the world. CEE challenges students and assists them on a long-term basis to become the creators, inventors, scientists, and leaders of the 21st century.

 
The USA Biolympiad (USABO) enriches the life science education of nearly 11,000 talented students annually. USABO concentrates on stimulating young scholars' intellectual curiosity and developing their critical thinking in laboratory skills and biological reasoning to propel them to careers of excellence and leadership in science and technology. It provides students with the motivation, curricular resources, and skills training to take them beyond their classroom experience to the level of international competitiveness.
