Houston Area Initiative to Support K-12 Science Education

摘要

The Houston Geological Society has a long history of educational outreach efforts that have including Earth Science Week, Maps in Schools, and providing speakers and materials for kindergarten through 12th grade (K-12) classrooms. For years, HGS has been working with other Houston area geological organizations to integrate these efforts. As the new chair of the HGS Academic Liaison Committee, I believe we have a unique opportunity to move forward by aligning HGS's efforts with a city-wide educational program called Houston Urban Network for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (HUNSTEM).
