APEGGA volunteers join us
to deliver in-class presentations!
ASLA and APEGGA are
excited to announce the merger of two existing classroom outreach programs.
Known as, Scientists & Engineers-in-the-Classroom,
the merged program will be rolled out in September 2010, by Calgary Science
Network (CSN) and Edmonton Science Outreach Network (ESON)
By working together we can improve efficiencies, reach more schools and
fill more requests – particularly in engineering-related curriculum
topics.
APEGGA Outreach volunteers
in the Calgary area are encouraged to sign up with
CSN to allow a smooth roll out of the program by September 2010. APEGGA
members who already volunteer with CSN need no further action.
Anita Rossall P.Eng. President, ASLA
has this to say. “ASLA is
very pleased to join with APEGGA to deliver the Scientists & Engineers-in-the-Classroom
program to Alberta Schools. Partnering with a well-respected professional
organization raises our profile and improves our ability to fill requests
for presentations. Ultimately teachers and students will be the big winners.”
We welcome APEGGA’s tremendous resource base of
practicing engineers and geoscientists, their respected reputation and
commitment to science outreach!
Teachers please continue to use our online
booking to request a FREE presentation at your school. Requests
are filled on a first come, first served basis and are subject only
to volunteer availability. |
