Announcements
APEGGA volunteers join networks 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 launched in September 2010, by Calgary Science Network (CSN) and Edmonton Science Outreach Network (ESON) and transitioning of the program in other areas of the Province will be managed locally on a case by case basis. By working together we can improve efficiencies, reach more schools and fill more requests – particularly in engineering-related curriculum topics.
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 use the 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.
APEGGA volunteers in the Edmonton Area are encouraged to sign up with the ESON to allow a smooth roll out of the program by September 2010. If you are already a network volunteer and a professional engineer, no action is needed.
