Education
Committee
The Education Committee
sponsors an Adopt-A-School Program which awards grants to western Pennsylvania schools
for environmental science projects. More information on this program is
available for downloading as a Word document here.
The Education Committee
also conducts teacher training workshops on environmental topics and
participates in regional science fairs, career fairs and education-related
exhibitions. The workshops are open to teachers from elementary and
secondary public and private schools in the Section's region. The workshops
last a full day and are conducted several times throughout the year. The
Section helps to underwrite the cost of substitute teachers for attendees
and provides educational materials to those attending the workshops.
