SEED

About our Organization

Schlumberger Excellence in Educational Development (SEED) is a global non-profit education program that serves students aged 10-18. SEED has grown out of the spirit of goodwill and close ties between Schlumberger people and the communities where they live and work.

SEED began in 1998 as a way for Schlumberger employees, spouses and retirees to share their time, experience and passion for learning and science through a variety of volunteer activities with younger generations of learners.

SEED provides access to technological and knowledge resources for underserved students and teachers in communities where Schlumberger people live and work. These include a range of project-based activities provided through an extensive multilingual website, hands-on science education workshops, and collaborative international projects. In these ways, SEED is building a learning community that creates connections among youth around the world and expands their understanding of science. In addition, the SEED Action Fund provides financing to young people for local initiatives addressing sustainability issues in their communities, for example in relation to water and energy.
